MS. CU-T asked:


I know I will eventually speak to someone at my college about this but I was just wondering what paths other people have went down when studying to be a teacher. I will have my associates degree soon and will then transfer to a University to further my education. I would like to at least get my ‘feet wet’ with teaching and I was just wondering what my options were? My area of concentration is Elementary Education.Thanks for your feedback!
Just to add, I live in the state of Missouri.

Sarah N asked:


I have a teaching license in my state, but I am interviewing for a job in another state. I have gone to that state’s website to look up information on obtaining a temporary license until I can take the test and get certified there.

I was just wondering if anyone had an idea of long it may take for my application to process? I want to be able to tell my potential employer.

What do you think about teaching a young child a second language?

♡ ту & яι’ѕ мαмα ιѕ ттc #3 ♡ asked:


I was just talking with a co-worker about her little cousin (I think she’s around 18 months). They are already teaching her Spanish AND Sign language on top of properly learning English.

What do you think about teaching a child another language so young?

What do you think the ideal age would be to learn a second language?
Am I the only one who thinks a child should learn proper English BEFORE learning a second language? I would think trying to do both would be too confusing. English & sign language together I think is great but an actual speaking language? I don’t think so.
Thank you elodie!

Momto2inFL: That situation is a little different as that child would HAVE to learn both in order to communicate with both parents. But I’m talking in example of an American family who speak English, learning another language “just because”.
