Micromanaging
Posted by: dateacher on: December 7, 2009
It never ceases to amaze me how some people micromanage everything, and at work they do so to the ‘nth’ degree. Those people who overtly micromanage wonder me even more – are they missing something in their lives that they have to control every little thing everyone else does. If your employees are doing as [...]

I feel like I may have written a blog post about this, but it bears repeating especially since it’s a big issue for me this calendar year (will explain). Also, it’s been a while since I blogged and I’ve missed sharing my thoughts on teaching and learning.
So – RESPECT – I am not certain when [...]

Week 1 is in the books for the 2009-2010 academic year, and I survived! This year is going to be very interesting. I am starting my 3rd semester. I don’t have my safety net this year – who the group I call “my girls.” The first group of students who entered during my first semester [...]

So for about the last month my life has been crazy, and it’s only going to get crazier. Monday is the first day of classes for my teaching job (my “real” job). It’s been nice to have about 4 months off, but truly, it’s time to go back to work. I’ve seen enough TV & [...]

So on Monday of this week, I finally took my Certified Dental Assistants exam. Preliminary reports are I passed. Final reports are not due for 4 to 6 weeks. My final report is: I never want to take that test again. I will go to the ends of the Earth to get the 12 hours [...]

Had me a blast….
Well, I was having a blast, and then I decided I wanted a new kitchen floor. I think we do the strangest things for money. I think I’ve done a strange thing for money…put myself into a stressful situation. As if I didn’t already have enough on my plate this summer – [...]

…I graduated high school. It was literally the best day of my teenage life!
I had many great friends during high school, and I still keep in touch with many of them. But, I was not a fan of high school. The division of the classes (and I’m not talking freshman, sophomore, etc) was rampant in [...]

Or at the very least, save our history education.
This weekend, actually on Saturday, June 6, 2009, my husband was at the home improvement center getting mulch for our garden. He noticed a woman a little younger than our mothers, pushing an older gentleman in a wheelchair. He had lost his legs from the knees down. [...]
Tooth Whitening
Posted by: dateacher on: May 22, 2009
This blog is supposed to be about the observations of a dental assisting instructor, so today’s post is going to be on-topic.
Lately I’ve been seeing a lot of internet advertisements for tooth whitening. Some of these ads I’ve clicked on – most I have not. I’ve done quite a bit of research on tooth whitening [...]

Well, it hasn’t been quite on year, but it is almost the end of the spring semester. What have I learned? What have my students learned?
I have learned that eventually you find what you’re supposed to be doing with your life. It may take 20 years, and it may be something you never expected you’d [...]
