Controlling a classroom isn't as easy as ABC

Among the top reasons why teachers are deemed unsuccessful or leave the profession is their inability to effectively manage student behavior, experts say.

An interesting article from today's LA Times.

Open Letter of Thanks

Dear Mr. Gomez and Mr. Cabanting:

I want to express my heartfelt thanks to both of you for donating boxes of textbooks in support of our organization's effort to provide assistance to those affected by the typhoons in the Philippines. You might have read that subsequent flooding have severely damaged schools and instructional materials including what little books they have available have been rendered useless.

Through your generous response and assistance from your companies, we will be able to provide much needed instructional materials to some of the affected communities. Once basic needs including food and shelter are addressed, children and teachers will eventually return to school and these books will surely find use again. I invite you to visit our website and there you will keep track of our activities including how these books will be distributed. We are looking forward to partner with you in anyway possible and perhaps we can continue to work together in future endeavors.

On behalf the students, teachers and members for FAEALA, I thank you once more.

Sincerely,

Daniel Gumarang, President
Filipino American Educators Association of Los Angeles
