Anyone else startingclasses this week? Anyone else start classes this week? I just got back into town yesterday and I start tomorrow. :( This semester I will be taking 5 classes (maybe 4- I am taking scuba diving for fun and my drop it if I decide the other will be to much on me), and going to campus 4 days a week. I am ALREADY being bombarded with things that professors need me to before I start classes (background checks, child abuse checks, tb tests, tons of books). Couldn't they just let me enjoy the last few days of summer and ask for all this stuff on the first day of class? :rolleyes: :) |
Are you going into education? The background check, finger printing and TB test need to be redone ever time you change your place of employment. In the last 3 years I've had to get them done 3 times - for subbing, student teaching and when I got my job last year! A waste of time and money :thumbdown You would thing once you've been finger printed and background checked they could just look you up. |
Wow, what kind of classes are you taking that require a background/child abuse check? Anyhow, good luck with the classes! |
I'm an education major. This particular class is one where I have to do service learning for a total of twenty hours (2 hours for 10 days during the semester). It's weird, I've taken other classes where I did service learning and I never had to get to get those things done before! One of the tests is $40! :eek: It's really sad that you pay all this money to go to the school and they can't even cover the costs of the checks and tests themselves, considering that they are for classes that they require. |
They have to be safe, so they do a thorough background check if your in the education field. |
WOW you are gonna be busy!!! I start teaching this week and of course I have 8am classes on Tuesday and Wed. At least I'll get out of my office :) Good Luck with your classes! |
Yep, I'm a teacher. We've been in meetings and workshops for a little over a week and the first day for kids is Tuesday. By the way, even my students who tutor younger students have to have background checks now, as do parent volunteers. I know it's a pain, but I think it's a good thing. :thumbup: |

Unfortunately, I knew of a coach who stayed just ahead of the system. He didn't start molesting until he became a teacher...fingerprints were done before that...new school saw that in his file and didn't check again. I think that's why the law changed to run a new check with every school change. He hurt a lot of girls before they stopped him. Thank God he'll be in jail for a LONG time now. |
Yep, I'm a teacher too and I start classes on Wednesday. I LOVE the start of school, though (yes, I'm a nerd! :)). |
Me too. :) Can't wait for the kids!! :D Could do without some of the inservice programs though...but most are important. |
