I am a teacher. I moved to Florida to teach 2nd grade and was recently moved to Pre-K. At my last school, I taught in the resource room for grades K-8 in both reading and math (and many times other content areas as well) in a public school district. I have also taught K-2 special education in a charter school. I student taught in England, have had field placements in Montessori schools, and worked with a private Christian school.
The most important things I have learned about teaching are:
1. Don't ever give up on a kid, or yourself.
2. The attitude you have, regardless of the situation, is your choice. Choosing a negative one does not improve anything, it only makes you and others around you miserable.
Also, be sure to check out the education section on tumblr! Education Tag I'm thrilled to be one of the editors!

I have my own reasons for not liking homeschooling that come from having students that were formally homeschooled, and what I’ve seen from my aunt homeschooling my cousins. Recently, a number of acquaintances and one good friend have decided to switch to homeschooling or homeschool once their child is school-aged. I don’t plan on saying anything about my opinion unless directly asked. However, for my own curiosity I am wondering what research there exists related to the results of homeschooling.

You are wise to know right away that you don’t want to. I was actually very idealistic *before* having kids & may have gotten my master’s in ed. degree for the sole purpose of wanting to homeschool. Then I had kids. :) Mama needs time by herself!

It worked for me and my sisters. But as for research, I think it would be hard to gather data and get accurate results. This website has a large list of publications and research on the subject. indiana.edu/~homeed…
