We should really TALK and compare. I am friends with many SW members. http://lindaoconnell.blogspot.com/ you can email me at the address listed in my intorduction.Linda O'Connellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15982895073903619018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1173456260059938165.post-48700762003084466582010-10-25T14:00:42.651-07:002010-10-25T14:00:42.651-07:00Don't let one set of parents cause you to ques...Don't let one set of parents cause you to question your talents. There are judgmental types everywhere -- that's their problem! (There's also the issue of the national meltdown that is occuring, and it's probably skewering a lot of perspectives...) Otherwise, if you decide on a career change (and I don't think you will), may I suggest comedy writing?

I do hope the parents who partner with you for the good of their student outweigh the number who prefer to complain. God bless you for investing so much of yourself into your teaching. There are a lot of lucky kids out there.Lisa Ricard Clarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05048410207952052295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1173456260059938165.post-49207289174084845072010-10-23T08:45:44.200-07:002010-10-23T08:45:44.200-07:00SIOUX:

So you retire next year? A strange word for us who seem to just change venues...this is just a nod to say I'm happy you are well and filled with energy! <br />Mary KimMARY KIMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12635238048020611128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1173456260059938165.post-51707697132984500572010-10-23T08:10:51.092-07:002010-10-23T08:10:51.092-07:00Hope all went well.

I admire you so much, and I hope, too, that you don't give up. I know that's easy for me to say, because I'm not in your situation, which is so much harder than teaching in a "preppy" school would be! And, also...seeing your other skills in life....um...ya know?! :DBECKYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15184458949017900541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1173456260059938165.post-41611461775022733852010-10-20T20:28:39.737-07:002010-10-20T20:28:39.737-07:00Bless your heart!

I gave up, thinking it was just for a while. I wanted to take a hiatus and try something new. I did not realize at the time how hard it would be to go back to teaching little ones and that I was giving up that part of myself forever.

The teacher is an easy target. It is hard and we do second, third, fouth guess ourselves. You know that you are a great teacher. Keep the jewels (family supporters) in your heart. Take what you can from the non-supporters and "keep on truckin".Barb Hodgeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12192271482805073197noreply@blogger.com
