Heather knows David Spade since 10th grade
David Spade and Heather Locklear were in the 10th grade together so they have a long history......they did try dating this past year but that didn't work, according to David on TV just the other night.
I guess if there is a 10th it's time to replace my 8th!

DD is a 1st grade teacher, and is ready to throw in the towel
already - not because of the kids, but because of the interferring parents (mothers) who cannot bear to let "little Suzie" out of the nest, cuz, you know, she is my baby, so I want to be with her as much as I can. She thinks these mothers cause more harm psychologically for the kids that anyone realizes. They lose coping skills, other kids make fun of them for being a big baby, and they lose all identity. Can't these mothers get a life away from the kid's school? She has 3 or 4 that think they know everything and are constantly interrupting her to "correct" her way of teaching. She is not a new teacher, has been teaching for over 10 years now and is rated one of the top teachers in this area.
sorry, but this isn't grade school
When you get out of grade school and become an MT, try following the MT Book of Style, which contains the guidelines for this profession - whether you like it or not.
Makes you wonder how they passed grade school grammar. No it is not acceptable.
I agree 100%.
just reminded, did you know Einstein failed grade school? His teachers told
Thank god they didn't believe it or the world would have been robbed of one of the greatest minds.
My daughter already started 1st grade - year-round school. Yippee! (nm)

I'm embarassed to even work with you all. Sound like a bunch of grade school delinquents. Grow u
So disrespectful, and just plain embarassing. You get whatever you desire, and based on your "class" on the boards, you all are getting it. I thank God literally that I don't have to share office space with you "women". A priceless blessing.
No one comes out of MT school ready to work...sm
Students will come out of the top 3 schools ready to work, but will have to work for lower line rates as apprentices. So who do you think the MTSOs will hire?
We won't hire newbies that's for sure. There's way too much training that you have to do with a brand new MT, lower line rate or not. That's the least of our worries as MT's.
Guess you're not ready for grown up humor then.
The School of Hard Knocks is the best MT school
n
I guess I am having a really hard
time understanding why you think it is AAMT's responsbillity to negotiate your job and the rates you are paid for doing same. AAMT is not a union that is involved in employment save for working on best practices in our profession and helping people to understand the value of education, credentialing and providing networking possibilities for MTs. It is an association whose mission has not a whit to do with either finding, retaining, or being primarily involved in those sorts of employment issues. You may be able to place blame on AAMT for some things, but certainly not for everything!!
maybe "butterfly" ??? - hard to guess w/o hearing it - nm

I've thought of doing it too! Anyone remember the ROS School of Transcription? The lady that SM
started that school was an MT working out of her home. She ran the school out of her home too! It was a distance learning program. She contracted with CMT Transcirption Service to let her students type some of their accounts. CMT in turn employed a mentor who would basically train the students, check their work, and give them feedback. Once they graduated the program, CMT usually hired most of them if they had enough work.
I know because I used to be an IC for CMT as a Mentor/Editor. Pretty good job at the time except once everyone got trained, there was very little left for me to edit. That's when I started thinking "hey, maybe I should start my own school!"
Now with ROS defunct, I was thinking about again. There really is a need for a good school created by MTs and run by MTs where the sudents are mentored by real MTs. But that's just me, I'm always full of big ideas, but can never really figure out how to make it happen, ya know?
I don't know why I laughed so hard at this post! Guess I needed it.

guess she is alive and kicking, quite hard at that! how is it we follow her books so religiously??
she designs MT pretty much as it is today, then blows it off as not cost-effective etc etc?
POLL: Home School vs. Charter School vs. Public School vs. Priv ate School...
Pros and cons of each too. I have two little ones that will be starting school soon and I would like opinions on all. Thanks in advance! :)
What's the thinking on Vera's 10th?
I know some of the older editions were very highly thought of. Anyone using this edition and finding it helpful?
how can it possibly make any difference if your check arrives on the 10th or the 15th
sheesh, you all are living literally paycheck-to-paycheck, that's for sure. Should be able to let your paycheck sit for a month without cashing it.
If it rains hard, the wind blows hard and there are trees
nearby, it snows heavily it will mess up the signal. The speed is not constant, sometimes as slow as dial-up, but at least still connected. Many companies will not allow satellite.
I did that with 2 kids with time mgmt and a high school girl who babysat 3 days a week after school

When I grade I look for...
...correct terminology and spelling, and nothing else. I once scored a report with 17 spelling errors. I told the applicant that I failed her on those. She replied "I don't have time to watch for that c--p!"
Does anyone with that kind of work ethic attitude think they're going to get hired? Who'd want to work with them? Any of you account managers or QA peeps out there want them on YOUR team? Didn't think so.
Anyway, I know where the spots are that the inexperienced or too cocky people will screw up, and that's pretty much all I look at. I leave it to QA to teach/correct areas that need to be changed, if need be. I just want people who know the terminology and can use it correctly.
Recently I took a test where I was dinged for NOT using the JCAHO dangerous abbreviations. However, how is one to know what to do when there are no instructions whether to use intelligent transcription or transcribe verbetim? That's where the people who are doing the scoring need to actually USE their gray matter rather than assume that people who are testing have consulted their psychic the night before to know what that particular QA peep is going to get their panties in a bunch over.
I'll get down off my soapbox now. Lol....
My son has been on an IEP since 1st grade sm
he is now in the 5th. The IEP helped a lot. He has accomodations when taking tests i.e. tests are read aloud to him, when he has math a tutor sits right beside him and he has speech 3 days a week for 30 minutes.
My son is currently in 5th grade. sm
I have to say his elementary school has been great and it is a public school. In fact, his kindergarten teacher was the best anyone could ask for. She really got him interested in school and loving it. In fact, I was the only one crying his first day of school. He was in heaven.
I would suggest going and sitting in on the classes and spending time in the school to get familar with the staff. My son's school has a wonderful staff all the way down to the school janitors who are husband and wife and treat the kids great.
Although there are a couple of teachers that I personally did not care for, we were given the opportunity to request teachers and they were honored if at all possible. I was able to avoid the couple of teachers that I did not care for. They may have been great, but I just felt that their style and personality didn't match my son. This really makes a difference; a child needs someone he is not intimated by to learn from. If they are afraid to ask questions, the teacher will never know if they need help.
This is my son's last year in elementary school. I have to say I do have reservations about our middle school and high school. After we built our home, they redistricted our community into one of the worst middle schools and high schools in our county. We have been considering private school, but the schools close to us are so expensive. We could put him through college cheaper than middle school and high school.
Sorry so long, but I know all information helps especially when our children are concerned.
So, you think it is okay for hard-working MTs to earn 7-8 cpl for their hard work?? nm

Hi TIA, my DH is a former 7th grade teacher and now....
is a high school principal. Don't people like that ignorant poster above really burn you up? As the wife of a teacher, I can vouch for the long hours and dedication that teachers put in. My DH can talk you through a typical week that will prove that most teachers put in 12 months worth of full-time hours and MORE in the 9.5 months that they work. That doesn't even count the summer hours preparing for the next school year. I have sat home on my anniversary because my husband is off chaperoning a trip so the kids can attend a band competition a thousand miles away. We have spent endless dollars of our own supplementing these trips, buying things for needy students, and making "sports supervision duty" a family night out so we can spend a little time with hubby and Dad. Don't even get me started on the vandalism that we've incurred over the last 15 years. Shall I start with the car that some little gang banger started by pouring a gallon of gas into our car and setting it on fire, because he was suspended? Or how about the rocks put into our gas tank of our car? Teachers ought to get hazard pay! Wasn't an asst. principal just gunned down last week? Teachers don't become teaches for the money, believe me. Where else can you finish a bachelor's degree and an 18 month credentialing program for a whopping 25,000 dollars a year (in some areas, more in others). A car mechanic makes twice as much as that!!! So, I pretty much dismiss those people who think teachers sit on their butts all day and skate out the door at 2:30. Their kids are probably the worst of them all.
Low grade olive oil is the best.

Fourth grade
Sounds like she is in 4th grade (age 9)? Most people agree that that is a tough year. I remember it was for me and my twin sister. I was not comfortable with competitive sports, but I think it would have given me confidence (and an outlet for all the negative energy of anxiety) if I had taken martial arts after school, or gymnastics or something like that to give me confidence and strength.

The cost of running a private school or any school is expensive....
Why do you think public schools are so run down and can't find good teachers? Because the government and people to not put forth the effort or $$$$ to improve the educational system.
grade versus stage
grades are regular numbers, 1, 2, 3, etc. Stages are I, II, III. It's easy to remember this way - The Romans are on the Stage.
I do think kindergarten and 1st grade might get a kick out of it.

Depends on which grade you will be teaching, but

1984. I was in 4th grade. I'm 32 and not ashamed to say!!
Good for you! Every vote counts!
grade typing back in the 60s...lol...sm
so today, that is kind of hard to change especially when you have everything saved (macros) the way we USED to type that....it's just THIS week, I'm trying to do only 1 space after a period and I'm older than dirt!! And I find that particular aspect of 1 space after a period very time consuming.........to make sure you didn't hit that space bar twice.
Word Help--Firmin grade 3??
Patient with kidney cancer. Sounds like "Firmin" grade 3???
Hey how do you get any work done ROFL and LOL and LOL making QA grade
and all the busy little things you need to do? I think you are management and what happens on many jobs is managements fault. And many management decisions are REVERSED by protesting and that is what I am doing. You must have heard about unions haven't you? They exist to change situations for employees and create a fair playing field. You can go along with the plan or try to do something. I will try to do something. In the meantime, pick yourself up off the floor roley poley MT. I don't like the visual.

My son has played since 2nd grade, quit last year and sm
came back this year excited about it for the first time in 4 years. I did not realize that he was not having fun anymore until I see how much fun he is having this year. I also talked to a few college scouts who said that it does not matter if they take a year off to concentrate on grades. My son missed it more than he thought. I am just glad my husband and I kept our mouths shut last year.
As a former 2nd grade teacher... NO way. Why? (see rant inside! Ha ha!)
As a former schoolteacher.... We would not have done "snowman poop" in class. No way, no how. I think it's a little on the tacky side but still relatively harmless, so that isn't why I wouldn't do it.
Too many parents with no life and too much time on their hands would complain. Teachers have to walk on eggshells to avoid giving parents any tiny thing to freak out about. The kids? They're great. Parents? Man, do we need some chlorine in the gene pool. If they aren't expecting teachers to do free tutoring after school (Why would you expect that? Do we give away free MT for doctors? No! ) or to hold conferences after 6:00 PM so they don't have to leave early from work (Hello, teachers have families, too! They're YOUR kids, YOU take off work early rather than expecting a teacher to stay past 5:00, okay?) they're "forgetting" to send lunch money for weeks at a time or refusing to take any responsibility for their child's behavior and blaming it on a million different reasons other than that they just don't take the time to work on the problem.
Two degrees in education and a gift for teaching, but never again. I'm an MT for the rest of my working years.
Numbers question! VIP! Grade 3/VI systolic murmur.
Incorrect, right? Am getting immense heat that this is "just fine" per old school transcription, cause I'm under 30 and "don't know". Grade 3/VI?? Comments please! I'll be glad to admit if I'm wrong, but I just cannot see how this could be correct.
English. I learned this word in the ninth grade.

Hey, that's how I learned typing in 9th grade! And the teacher was a witch. nm

My conversation with you is over. You sound worse than a pack of 6th grade girls.

Get ready for changes.....sm
lots of them and very quickly IF this is what is happening. Six Sigma management tends to cut the fat and thin the herd by "survival of the fittest." In other words, expect it to be harder to achieve a high quality score, incentive bonuses, quality bonuses, etc., because they will up the ante with respect to that At least that was my experience with Edix...and no, I'm not a sloppy MT barking about sour grapes. That's just the way it was.
ready or not
If new Career Step grads are not ready to work, why are so many of them getting multiple job offers? Some get four or five offers within a month of graduation. In the real world, the marketplace will determine who is ready to work and who is not. Whether or not a given MT is prepared to work is between her and her employer. AAMT is sticking its nose into an area where it is neither needed nor wanted, and they would not be doing this if there were not profit in it for them. If they want to do something for us, let's see them do something to stop the offshoring of our medical records. If they were showing real leadership on this and other substantitve issues, our salaries would not be declining. We cannot trust the AAMT.
My son was almost 4 - He will do it when he is ready.

Are you ready? lol...sm
Dogs: Neeva and Rufis.

I know that I am in no way ready to do this on my own. Others have said I should cut out the sm
middle man and get my own accounts. I know that I am not qualified to do that right now. I just graduated two months ago! I want to get at least 2-3 years experience under someone else before I go out looking for my own accounts. I'm not ready to be responsible for everything yet. Maybe I'm a minority, or don't have enough confidence in myself, but I'd rather be safe than sorry.
