Do new teachers feel prepared for teaching?
As a new, enthusiastic and slightly nervous secondary school teacher in the Republic of Korea, I was perplexed to receive this advice from other, more experienced teachers. I took it to mean that as a new teacher, I should be strict and impersonal with my students, showing them that “I mean business”, particularly during the first month.

Canada offers US, UK academics security, not activism
By Grace Karram Stephenson. Over the past year, those in Canadian higher education have watched the political changes in the United States and Europe with mixed feelings.
