And I know I've told you this before, but I think YOUR students are lucky to have you for a teacher, not only do you teach, but you advocate! <BR/><BR/>OT: I just got a notice that a meeting has been scheduled for Kayla (the reason listed was interim - placement and services) and her spec ed teacher said she thought it was about getting her a 1:1. I didn't know that was even being discussed! I'm calling the coordinator tomorrow to find out for sure what this meeting is about. If they're going to provide her a 1:1 I say great!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02441176684416139172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2845194771436706462.post-54812319083110553272008-08-23T14:45:00.000-05:002008-08-23T14:45:00.000-05:00Having a child with special needs, I tend to agree...Having a child with special needs, I tend to agree.

To handle the activity during construction the brain detours input through the anger center. So-o-o teens interpret everything as, "Why are you yelling at me?!" OR "Stop looking at me!" (said in a yelling, angry voice) OR "Everybody hates me!" So they've got a skewed perception of everything. OUR JOB- get them through it alive!!!! <BR/><BR/>p.s. I walked in on a co-teacher today (actually @ 10:00 p.m., we were both playing "catch up") and she was sobbing. Some days are like that, and so remember the gusto for the gustoless days.Mimi in the Midwesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05485368750787592981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2845194771436706462.post-30754252843475633882008-08-21T22:54:00.000-05:002008-08-21T22:54:00.000-05:00Ah high school.

The only people that weren't shaped by them are the ones that say they were the best years of their life. <BR/><BR/>Pretty sure it is also the reason for the influx of counselors across the nation. :)Midwest Beach Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07654160651226506523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2845194771436706462.post-1290850744507712952008-08-21T22:14:00.000-05:002008-08-21T22:14:00.000-05:00Once again, you moved me.

I really do agree with all you said here. Also, made me admire you just a little more.nikkis30by30https://www.blogger.com/profile/03442782590631563456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2845194771436706462.post-16405365808513217032008-08-21T20:33:00.000-05:002008-08-21T20:33:00.000-05:00Oh please don't let the sick season be starting al...Oh please don't let the sick season be starting already! I just want to enjoy some cool fall weather first!<BR/><BR/>OM - I got a little emotional about you sticking up for your students but letting them have some of the high school experience - you're so very right, that we learn from our mistakes and keeping them in a bubble would do them more harm them good. Hurray for you!LoriAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00567777495182314098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2845194771436706462.post-6435055562310289252008-08-21T19:47:00.000-05:002008-08-21T19:47:00.000-05:00Glad to hear you are on the mend...could the sick ...Glad to hear you are on the mend...could the sick season be starting already?Jeniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13100043209000589029noreply@blogger.com
