Chocolate, dont get me wrong, I do appreciate your observations, they were insightful and helpful to me, a single parent. I dont know what subject you teach, but It seems you probably have a well-adjusted class, and you are to be applauded for that. I'm just the boys mom, so I step in as to fix the problems...and thats not a job that is nationally recognized, so I appreciate the feedback from all. I'm a Special Ed. teacher- I have a Psych degree (child development), 2 Special Ed. degrees, and I'm working on my Doctorate in Educational Sociology. My background in Special Ed. is in "Emotional Disturbance" even though my Masters is in Developmental Disabilities. At the high school I teach English (and sometimes Social Studies)- I'm qualified in both. I co-teach alongside the subject teachers. I agree that a lot of my colleagues don't know how to deal with the kids and only know subject matter. Hell, some of them can't deal with each other without "actin' a fool". 
I've always wanted to be a teacher, so I get really defensive when people look down on people like me, who cares about her job and her kids, and isn't just collecting a paycheck to have summers off. Thank you... I hope your meeting went well.  i think we need to clone you chocolate  seems that i was busy doing something close to nothing, but different than the day before   | |

Thank you. I just love my job. On the toy thread, I mentioned how I used to "play school" when I was a kid... "Love Hurts. Your lies, they cut me. Now your words don't mean a thing. I don't give a damn if you ever loved me..." -Cher, "Woman's World" | |

myfavorite said: I'm trying to keep my cool. This quiet 14 year old was the pit to my cherry, the cream to my coffee, and just this week, he has had 2 discipline referrals from school. one for leaving trash around his desk after class and the other for a fight he had with another child at the high school during a basketball game...it bugs the hell outta me. One cause he's only in middle school and second, cause he's so smug about it.."yeah, I did it.." almost laughing.
i feel like the teacher was picking at him because the referral cited all sorts of other nit-picky shyt before she actually made the point about the candy paper.. the fight, i dont know, he doesn't like kids in his face, but why the fuck would someone videotape the incident to report to his school???? I'm exasperated!!!  Kids get in trouble chill out. It happens. Yo, are you a boy or a girl? I can't tell by your posts. I've reached in darkness and come out with treasure
I layed down with love and I woke up with lies Whats it all worth only the heart can measure It's not whats in the mirror but what's left inside | |
