ITS HOME SCHOOL..I DIDN'T GET A BOOK IN THE MAIL..AND IM NOT PAYIN FOR 20$ TO GET ONE!
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP..PSHH
Kayla -- I assume you want to work as a teacher aide, right? Then how do you expect to learn and be successful if you don't read a book or otherwise learn the basic principles of education?
If you don't want to spend 2 or 3 hours of your future pay to buy a book, then please follow Guru's suggestion and find the information you need on line.
Kayla. You are studying teacher aide skills. I recommend you really examine your attitudes and feelings toward education before you go into that field. If you don't love what you do, you will never be happy nor successful. Nobody wants an unhappy grouch teaching their kids.
THIS ISNT FOR THAT..IM NOT TRYING TO BE A TEACHER AIDE. ITS A CLASS IM TAKING IN SCHOOL. IF THIS WAS SOMETHING I WANTED IN MY FUTURE I WOULDNT BE ASKING FOR ANSWERS!
IF YOU CANT HELP ME THEN DON'T POST NOTHING
