I am just starting an online college,Im 48 years old,ill be 51 upon graduation. Do you think ill find a job at that age [k-12] or specail ed.?                                                                                                               Thank-you for youre feedback...............        

I am in school now and will be receiving my elementary education certificate at 53. I don't think that I am too old to teach or find a job. I think that my experience raising my own children and the patience and insights I've gained will be an asset for me. Best of luck to you!

We are never old  for teaching or learning.

I was going to reply, "When you spell too as to." But I see that's already been said.

Hey, Susie....  I'm sorry if I over-stepped when I made that little correction.   Not to worry, many people make that wee-little error.   Usually I say nothing.  This time I was being a smarty pants ~ sheece.   sorry....want me to delete that?

Mr. D, you're a bigger smarty pants than I am....neener-neener-neener!

John, I'm not certain I understand the meaning of your question.  I usually just ask myself if my meaning is "and", "also" or "all so" (as in too many).... but none of those seem to make sense in your statement.  Also, "two" and "to" don't seem to fit: educate me, please.

Still smiling,

Ahhh John...sneaky devil-man....  has anyone ever mentioned that you are clever and witty?   

Of course, it still doesn't make much sense to me...even to say it sounds odd-weird-uncomfortable... then again, who, beside Mr. D, is perfect?

It's going to be 108 here today...and next week we move into the 100's and teens...they say it will last the entire week....sheece...my tomatoe plants are producing, but their foliage is brown!   I water my yard twice a day (morning and evening) for about an hour (our earth is red clay, so I really try to soak it down).   Even though everyone seems to understand that New Mexico is High Mountain Desert, what they don't comprehend is that we seldom (if ever, in my almost 20 years there) did we see temperatures like this!   Now, 100 degrees barely registers as hot....my husband teasingly says, "It's 98 degrees out ~ sweater weather!"

Have a cool High Desert Day!

 I had an instrustor that's at least in his Mid-Seventies and he's as sharp as they come.  In fact, he teaches at a college and is over one of the departments.  He was hilarious and I really enjoyed his chemistry class.  Aflter seeing him, I realized, you're never too old!  I'll never forget hearing one of the students ask him: "if she should wear her safety glasses in lab?"  He replied: "thats like asking a doctor if you should SMOKE!"   I just couldn't stop laughing at what I had heard........ 

There is no age limit.   I'm glad there isn't one because I had plan to teach at the collegiate level after I retire from teaching at grade levels.

I hope there is never an age when it is two old too teach.... I will be 61 and in special ed. for my twenty-furst yeer.  But eye here that spellign is the first thing to go, soo I am looking out fer dat sign that I may nede to reetyre.  see ya in the classrum.

You guys have me cracking up.  I might just agree with the age thing. I also think there is a part of the administration that judges on how young someone looks as well. I am thirty something and look like a high school student. I have to fight harder to get into the door.

I was walking in the hall today wearing my school spirit t-shirt and my tan jeans and the students were asking my when I enrolled until I turned around and then it was "oh, hi mrs. __ we thought you were a new student." I had to laugh and tell them nope. I teach eigth grade.

SRK,

I don't know...but this has happened to me also...so if you find out how to prove it...let me know!
