[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Entered a third grade classroom on a tour and noted the wall clock was stopped by five hours. I thought it showed a lack of care on the teachers part to leave it stopped and she missed opportunities to teach kids how to read a standard clock.[/quote]

I would have come to the same conclusion—until I taught in a school that had old wired clocks that were no longer functioning properly. We were not able to physically remove them—and they “worked” but were off by hours and minutes. The solution though is to cover them—a sun, a smiley face, etc. And get another battery operated clock![/quote]

Pp here. Good tip.

We were glad we declined that school when we heard the teacher in that room sent emails to the parents asking for funds for art supplies; they completely ran out by November. Her three kids went there and I wondered if she brought stuff home for their projects. Anyways, the vibe I got was she was checked out and just showed up for the free/discounted tuition.[/quote]
