He has no compassion. <BR/><BR/>As I think you have been told in several other comments.... it WILL pass. Addison's first teacher, Mrs. Pasho, has been a teacher for 25-30 years now and she even said she can't believe how every year it is the same thing. She loves her job; but much like you she is HUMAN. <BR/><BR/>You can do this Mel. And you will. And YOU, my dear, are the BEST person for this job and for these kids. <BR/><BR/>HUGS!!!nikkis30by30https://www.blogger.com/profile/03442782590631563456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2845194771436706462.post-69800728280594422382007-08-15T22:21:00.000-05:002007-08-15T22:21:00.000-05:00Funny.

He does not sugar coat, he does not beat around the bush, he is h-o-n-e-s-t.

LOL I think it's probably a little stressful and chaotic for students and teachers alike when school starts back up, and then you just get settled back into a nice routine after a couple weeks. Hope it's not too crazy for you!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02441176684416139172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2845194771436706462.post-16378285574481189422007-08-15T12:26:00.000-05:002007-08-15T12:26:00.000-05:00Ha!I absolutely respect every (well just about) te...Ha!<BR/><BR/>I absolutely respect every (well just about) teacher in the world.It is a very difficult job and so you get props from me!!!<BR/>Hang in there!Staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01504441297464745715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2845194771436706462.post-60799357117615488412007-08-15T11:03:00.000-05:002007-08-15T11:03:00.000-05:00My sister went back to work today.

I just don't think that men "get it". It is perfectly fine to have this discussion every year if you want!!! I've never been a teacher, but I've known a few and all of them said the first week back is tough.
