is learning to read the main responsibility of the teacher or parent?We Answered:
You need to help your child with school work the teacher helps them to learn to read and everything else you can't expect them not to have homework! Are you too busy to be bothered to help your child? It sounds like you think he shouldn't have homework he has to to enforce what is learned in the classroom! I am a Mom and I help my daughter with homework she is happy to do it!We enforce the work by practicing and do things on-line to improve her skills she is five and in Kindergarten! If your having a problem have a parent teachers conference they have to keep going with each lesson!

I'm considering living in Scotland and need some feedback (I've never been). How are the teaching jobs there?We Answered:
You'd be welcomed with open arms in Scotland! We're a very friendly and hospitable race. Yes, there are some "not-so-nice" areas here - but that applies to EVERYWHERE, not just Scotland. I don't know much about the teaching situation, but I would assume that you would have no problem finding employment, especially with your qualifications. Good luck to you and your wee boy!EDIT: ANGEL: That's a bit rich coming from you! Pot, kettle and black springs straight to mind! I've read a few of your posts and for some reason, you are VERY racist towards Scots. Maybe one did you wrong in the past - you don't have to blame a whole bloody NATION!!

What colleges in Scotland offer courses in History and Learning how to Teach?We Answered:
The first uni in Scotland to offer a concurrent teaching programme is Stirling University. You finish with a degree (with honours) in your subject plus a diploma in teaching in 4 years. Otherwise you can do a degree in history in most of Scotlands uni's and then do a Post Graduate Certificate in Education at Strathclyde (Jordan Hill Campus), Glasgow, Paisley (Craigie Campus) or Dundee. However if you do that it takes 5 years as its 4 years for the initial degree then a year teaching on top of that.That's only for secondary teaching, if you want to teach in a primary school you have to do the degree in history first and then do a post grad and convert (unless you do languages or environmental science in which case Stirling is your only option again)
Its a good course, you get a lot more time to do the teaching side of things as its over 4 years instead of 1 like everywhere else.
Apparently you can now go to Aberdeen as well.

Hi I live in Scotland and I need some help in IT?We Answered:
You are being too ambitious wanting to know EVERYTHING. There is just too much of it with modern computers, although there wasn't when I started with them forty-odd years ago. Nowadays, every single one of the following computer topics is so detailed that scarcely anybody could fully understand three of them, and not many could fully understand even two.1. The process of determining the binary format of the low-level instructions that a new processor will execute.
2. The process of designing, then fabricating, single processor chips with millions of transistors on them.
3. The assembly of a working computer from its cabinet, processor, video screen, disc drive, printer/scanner, telephone connection, and so on.
4. The art of writing "compilers" which turn high-level programs expressed in Basic, C or C++ into low-level instructions.
5. The preparation and marketing of the hundreds of executable programs which form a popular "operating system" such as Windows XP.
6. The preparation and marketing of commercial "user applications" written in Basic, C or newer languages.
7. The competent use of manufacturer-supplied utility programs such as word processing packages, spreadsheets, and e-mail programs.
That's just off the top of my head! When you start looking into everything a computer actually does, especially when it's connected to the internet, I'll bet there are another dozen fields of study, each one just as detailed, and just as separate from each other. Most courses outside university concentrate on number 7, although a few might be available for 3, usually called computer engineering or hardware support. Most people learn numbers 6 and 5 (which you say is your ambition) on the job, by starting work for a firm which does them.
I live in Scotland too, and I have worked in it (doing IT) for most of my life.
