Even MORE Excitement - DayTipper

fallenrain132321 @fallenrain132321 (341) • United States 2 Mar 08

I don't know if anyone has ever heard of DayTipper but I had signed up through them just a couple of weeks ago and decided to give them a try. I submitted a few tips through them to see what would happen with it and sure enough...

tutor1235 Yeah, I found this one, too. So far they've accepted two tips (of about 10) but I've not been paid as yet (it's been about two weeks since I got the acceptance). So I'm ambivalent right now. I'm posting tips when I don't have anything more pressing to do,...

tutor1235 As a teacher with a Master's degree, I believe that some people are naturally born teachers-I've known a bunch, and I'm one. My training just gives me additional strategies and tools to do the job that I already had a natural bent towards. It also improved my...

How do you feel about the No Child Left Behind act?

Laurla98 @Laurla98 (786) • United States 25 Sep 07

Why do teachers only have a small amount of money from their job? Teachers teach childrens that are the one who will be the pride of our country.

tutor1235 I suspect that the real answer in the US (and even more so in less wealthy countries) is that society simply can't afford to pay us what we are truly worth. It's a lot like day care services-for child care workers to earn a decent wage, they'd have to charge...
