(Just kidding.) I DO try and dwell on the positives, the "little lights" that keep me teaching. It's just difficult because the negatives are so much louder and uglier sometimes...<br /><br />Donna---Grandparents who can walk upright and get up every morning and live their lives with joy and raise young peopleSioux Roslawskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17924021828536277618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1173456260059938165.post-26644317288817988442010-11-13T16:06:25.110-08:002010-11-13T16:06:25.110-08:00Hi Sioux,

One parent told me that I had put restrictions on her child when I told her that what she perceived as problems were actually his strengths and people like her son become lawyers, architects etc, because they are analytical and left brained Linda O'Connellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15982895073903619018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1173456260059938165.post-67108601297522528592010-11-13T13:46:43.477-08:002010-11-13T13:46:43.477-08:00Wow, Sioux, it sounds like you had an amazingly to...Wow, Sioux, it sounds like you had an amazingly tough week. I pray things improve over the coming months. I spent some time in St. Charles schools this past week, and I started feeling nostalgic about my abandoned teaching career when I saw all those young faces. Thanks for presenting the other side of it and bringing me back down to earth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1173456260059938165.post-456816340799198682010-11-12T19:48:42.017-08:002010-11-12T19:48:42.017-08:00Sioux, For your sake, I will choose to believe in ...Sioux, For your sake, I will choose to believe in Santa this year and until your wishlist is fulfilled!Katie Gateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01264642384901419402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1173456260059938165.post-63638426016804543252010-11-12T19:03:21.001-08:002010-11-12T19:03:21.001-08:00Sioux, I keep telling you the same things, over an...Sioux, I keep telling you the same things, over and over: I don't know how you do it. You're a saint. I admire you so much. How can you be so fun and happy when I'm around you?

While ours was a positive, sharing session with a common goal, I have a better appreciation of what it's like from your side of the desk.<br />Hang in there. Teachers are a special group of people and have such a wonderful gift.Donna Volkenannthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04540727800410234483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1173456260059938165.post-68362793142657086652010-11-12T06:52:30.628-08:002010-11-12T06:52:30.628-08:00Sioux, I feel your pain.

For some reason, parents think they can chew teachers up and spit them out. I think the police have the same image. I know you know this, but I will repeat it anyway: Round up all those good notes you have received over the years and refer to them often.
