Why are sped teacher not paid more

by wondering

Mar 1, 2017

When it requires extra education? It requires extra patience? It requires a strong constitution? The paperwork is about quadruple of that of reg ed?

What is the argument that sped teachers should not be paid significantly more, for their additional skill level?

EXERCISE ROLL CALL - Sunday

by Elaine/ret/IN

Mar 12, 2017

It's such a beautiful day here in NE Indiana. 31F. Sunny. Perfect for a walk. (Note the absence of wind in that list!!)

I ran a few errands and still didn't have my 10K steps in, so I did my usual route through our subdivision and the one next to us. 10531. Great podcast in my ears. I love walking.

judycaret Good job, Elaine, but I'm not sure about what you call nice weather.

Almost 80 degrees here today, just gorgeous! I walked 10,000 steps with a friend then went to Trader Joe's and got some healthy yummies like Cruciferous Crunch Collection and cauliflower soup.

Elaine/ret/IN to Judy I could love 80F. I'm sure. 10K walk and talk--yep even better.

Your TJ finds sound yummy. We're 2 hours away from the closest TJ, but we still get there fairly often. (I know all the TJ's and bathrooms between here and anywhere.) My most recent find is their Chile Lime Seasoning Blend. I haven't yet found anything that doesn't taste bette...See More

Fathers wo refer to their sons as "stud"

by 1st grade teacher

Mar 12, 2017

Over the past few years I've heard fathers more and more referring to their sons as "stud." "Come here, Stud," or "Isn't he a stud?!" and so on. I have several fathers this year who, when they pick up their sons on Friday for their week, they always refer to the child as Stud rather than by their names.
