Your students are lucky that you care about them so much that you can make learning fun and entertaining. I am anxious to hear what they report back to you regarding their experiences with the regents.<BR/><BR/>Of course, our ELLs must take "the tests" after only a year in the country too. Though I object to assessments being used this way, no doubt that kids who survive the process will certainly be able to overcome just about anything else academic that comes their way.ms. whatsithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06348949216807560824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29536003.post-34730700613125753432007-06-04T20:12:00.000-04:002007-06-04T20:12:00.000-04:00Thanks for your kind words Mrs. Tsouris.All teache...Thanks for your kind words Mrs. Tsouris.<BR/><BR/>All teachers use English every day. We read the newspapers, books, etc. We write. Math is a skill that is unused by most and hence not everyone can remember and teach it.<BR/><BR/>I always tell my students that math is a good major. People respect it because they have so much trouble with it.Pissedoffteacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07924089808582137198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29536003.post-61517384341335456902007-06-04T18:23:00.000-04:002007-06-04T18:23:00.000-04:00I think there is a case to be made about math majo...I think there is a case to be made about math majors being good generalists. All that problem solving and logic is transferable.<BR/><BR/>Tomorrow is going to be my first day teaching ESL in a long, long time.

The English Regents is not the literacy-based test it used to be. Now they test whether or not you have the ability to read a manual and interpret its contents. So if you train the kids on any level, they will pick up some tricks and possibly pass this English regents also. This is yet another reason you more than deserve the PTA Heart Award!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
