Try to learn something about everything
and everything about something.
- Thomas Henry Huxley, biologist (1825-1895)

The information in this website will be converted into a book. Following is the working outline for that book:

• How to teach
• Keep parents happy
• Keep administration busy and happy
• Keep the kids busy
  • This is the key to teaching
  • They should all be involved in learning all the time, without pauses
  • Any pause will destroy the child’s interest, and he will find another way to be occupied
  • This will cause discipline problems.
  • That’s the only real rule of teaching.
• Slower or faster kids need to have material at their own pace – might mean several different mini-plans within one classroom. Nobody should have any time when not working.
• Each lesson should include a specific, small thing to add to previous lesson
  • Children should feel comfortable with the material, based on stuff they know. You will get the feel of how much to add each lesson
  • Brighter kids can obviously have more added to each lesson than weaker kids
• Use various methods to keep them busy
  • Songs keep everybody busy at the same time – as long as they know the words in advance
  • This might mean teaching the slower students the words for a longer time than the brighter ones, while the brighter ones do something different
  • When the brighter ones do something different, they should not feel that it is busy work – it should be marked and evaluated, and required – or else they will not do it and they will disturb
  • They should be prevented from demonstrating superiority over the weaker ones by separating them.
• Set the tone the first day
  • The day after each vacation or holiday is like a mini-first day
  • The last days of school are crucial
• Keep the parents happy
  • Prepare a note to give them on PTA night
  • Don't call them too often to complain about kids
• Keep administration busy and happy
  • Don't ask for too much assistance
  • Give them the feeling that you are always preparing for the classes
  • Do preparations in teachers’ room so that the administration will see that you are busy at work
