Thinking of contributions to TIPS over the years, is there a propensity (note that word!) for (some) men posters to be to be more combative than the women? This is an issue that has exercised some atheist blogs I've visited in recent months. Feel free to ignore this post (not that that would be a first :-) ).

Patterson <[email protected]> Subject: Re: tips digest: November 09, 2010 Date: Wed, 10 Nov 2010 01:22:03 -0500 Thanks Ed. Sorry if someone put something in your coffee that may have upset you but you simply could have skipped over my question and leaving your nasty comment. Isn't this supposed for be a valuable source for colleagues who are passionate about Psychology to help each other out? Isn't this a place to prevent the "wheel from being recreated"? Or to help each other or question topics? For a minute, I thought maybe in the high school we are more understanding of co-workers and helpful. Maybe all the AP teachers that work endless, unappreciated hours understand the fine courtesy of sharing. However, thank you to the three TIPSTERS that sent me private e-mails excusing Ed's bullying behavior. I am glad to see some people do have courtesy and cordialness. I do not post to TIPS often because I do not want to be chastised. I am saddened by this happenstance and it makes me reconsider for the future or sharing this site with others. I apologize for wasting anyone's time but I figured to give it a shot, and get some quick info due to the fact that I teach two jobs totaling 80+ hours a week, both as an AP Psychology instructor and in a very unappreciated position - despite having a 100% pass rate for the last two years on the National AP exam with every student I teach taking the exam - and surviving as you can tell by the hour of penning - with little sleep. First and foremost, I give my time to my AP students to prepare them by teaching EVERYTHING required for the AP Psych exam - every chapter, every definition, every concept -- multiple textbooks. I do not have time to teach about Google searches in a very limited time frame. Glad to know that you do. I would hope that you are not skipping any chapter to "fit" this important psychological skill into your valuable curriculum. Kimberly C. Patterson, M.S., Ed.S.

One looks back with appreciation to the brilliant teachers, but with gratitude to those who touched our human feeling. The curriculum is so much necessary raw material, but warmth is the vital element for the growing plant and for the soul of the child. - Carl Jung --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [email protected].
