Free Ebook Downloads

Here are some sites where you can find free ebooks...but when your title is too highly technical, you might need to do some digging.  It is unbelievable how many people out there are willing to scan entire books just to get them into ebook form.  But hey, if it lights their fire, who's going to complain...

Let me twist a Robbie Burns poem How do I fear thee (O' burden of a teacher)? Let me count the ways... 1. In Loco Parentis In English, that means 'in the place of a parent'.  In legal terms, that means a teacher is expected to be as responsible as a parent for the safety of his or her students while they are within the school grounds or under his or her care.  And they may be liable in the same way a parent would be, where the law is concerned. I attended a course by an IAB lecturer way back in 2000 and listened in horror as she detailed the many different ways I could've been in trouble with regard to the way I dealt with students.  If a rock falls on a student within ...
