I've recently seen a thread for those of us who are studentsand those of us who are parents of school age kids, and began to wonder how many of us are in education. I didn't see a thread on this topic, but I hope am not redundant.

So my fellow educators and administrators, here is your opportunity to vent the stress, exchange ideas, or seek/offer guidance to those in our field.

I'm wondering if anyone other than myself is looking forward to the 2011-12 school year. This year we are starting at the very end of August, usually we begin in the 3rd week.

Just thought I would give this a bump.

August 23rd for me......and this is my fourth trip through college and once through a professional art school. This is my first time with on line college.

We'll see how this goes. I may miss the classroom and all things associated with it. But admit, I like the flexability of this.

This is going to cut down on my bicycle time and my baseball time. My *me* time is important. Sounds selfish, but I can down right bitchy when it's all demands and no time for me. I'm going to have to make school a *me* time I guess......

i am looking forward to my "How to do a research paper without leaving your room*" presentation at the library's back to school Open House. I bought Star Wars jammies** for the occasion

* is basically an Ebscohost demo- NetLibrary and Academic Search premier
** the jammies are the part i am looking forward to, library is having Darth Vader and some Storm Troopers in as the "lure," that is why i got Star Wars

I will be doing online classes and be working toward my degree in accounting.

It's going to be different going to online classes, but my work schedule fits around them so it seems it will work for me.

Where are all my fellow educators?

Dear Councilors....as you are making the students schedules....please do not put 70 kids in my classes.

I teach online classes and was wondering if anyone else teaches online full time or part time?
