I'm curious what words and sentence structures they look for when making their analysis.<BR/><BR/>Ms. CookieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10220498.post-74159640271887404982008-11-21T13:42:00.000-06:002008-11-21T13:42:00.000-06:00Sorry to post this as a comment, but I have no lon...Sorry to post this as a comment, but I have no longer have you email address to send this directly. (In addition, I don't have answers, but experience the same dilemma's). Anyway, I so enjoy your blog, and use it regularly for a source for ideas. I ran across this site, www.typealyzer.com, and thought the analysis was great. Check it out...I'd love to see what do you think!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09297815760232603804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10220498.post-5638073168517689132008-11-18T21:10:00.000-06:002008-11-18T21:10:00.000-06:00Thank you for writing.

As a non-parent, that's something I didn't/don't think about: the kids that want to do well and want to "please" the people who think they can do great things.<BR/><BR/>I'm wondering how to word advice to students about making sure you have a balance in your life while still giving your best effort (but not killing yourself).<BR/><BR/>Ms. CookieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10220498.post-50368764095881375532008-11-18T20:24:00.000-06:002008-11-18T20:24:00.000-06:00It is interesting reading your views on whether or...It is interesting reading your views on whether or not to push the students to work up to their full potential. I am a mother of three teenagers and I am also currently getting certified to teach middle school/high school math. I have seen the pressure that today's teens are under from the other side, as a parent. My oldest daughter was a very capable student and at times I thought that she would crumble under the pressure, as every one of her teachers would push her to do more and more. My daughter almost always met, and sometimes exceeded, these expectations, but at a very high cost. At times I worry what we are expecting from these highly competent teens - many times her schedule was much more demanding than many adults could have managed and she was constantly sleep deprived to get everything done. Just some thoughts. It is so hard to not see these kid's "potential" and then want to help them acheive all that they can be.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
