I thought that people grew out of that kind of BS after 8th grade. AGAIN, WTF!?<br /><br />However, even though you don't want to do it, you will be in the right and they SHOULD be humiliated (and rightly so). This can't possibly suck as much as when you had to transfer the teacher you really liked. Think of it that way - that you are doing them a favor by preventing them from going to hell (if it is not too late.)<br /><br />re: bf having sex with kid - I am SOOO thankful that it was not true!

I worked part time in Title One as a reading teacher for five years in elementary, and I knew when I went for my teaching certificate it would have to be high school. The kids aren't as cute, but I like the colleagues better.<br /><br />BTW Heather Pride's comment...still picking my jaw up off the ground.Pseudohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10430783970802030846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5925661918941360037.post-29296257171775032482009-05-08T19:54:00.000-04:002009-05-08T19:54:00.000-04:00Kulio - You are awesome!

I can get rather emotional about it, too. I clearly remember reading the lips of my 5th grade teacher when she was complaining to another teacher about having to move me to the front of the room after my mother complained (apparently I messed up her sitting in alphabetical order plan). While she didn't say anything negative to me, she may as well have. I've never forgotten it.<br /><br />I'm still trying to figure out how to teach them to learn some compassion (or just grow up). <br /><br />The more I think about it, the more angry I become! Seriously, they broke my heart today.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06999741671175495307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5925661918941360037.post-90983567839436747702009-05-08T19:27:00.001-04:002009-05-08T19:27:00.001-04:00I'm usually not this bold on my blog, but teachers...I'm usually not this bold on my blog, but teachers who say nasty things about special needs kids can suck it (I am sorry that I do not have the strike through ability on your blog comments)(because that was just rude). <br /><br />Oh my goodness Beth, I don't envy you your task on Monday, and I wish you could invite a Special Guest Educator to give them a lashing. I would be all over it. <br /><br />In the meantime, enjoy your beverage and enjoy reading the book.
