Difficult Parents

Feb 9, 2018

Good evening/morning (depending on where you are!)! Before I ask my question, you need some background...

I work for a non-profit agency that works with trauma-informed care. While I AM an educator, I do not work in a "typical classroom." My supervisor is not an educator and I don't have a mentor in my grade level that I can talk with. ...See More

Liz I appreciate you and all of your advice! We are connected to the umbrella of the special education program in our district, since they are the ones who send students to us. I was able to get in touch with our district reps and spoke with my supervisor as well who is in agreement that this nonsense is getting out of hand. It's good to know that I'm ...See More

Sharing our failures

by Teacher

Feb 10, 2018

Hello all and pleased to be here!

So I was thinking the other day that we all have stories of failures in our roles as educators. Whether you have a single bad moment (a lesson plan that just DID NOT WORK), a bad class, or a whole bad school year, we all have had failures.
