I'm getting frustrated because when I go to pick up my students for their reading class with me (because they're below grade level), their teacher tells me I can't take them because she needs to get them ready to pass the test! Um, hello? I'm helping them learn to READ!!! You don't think that will help? They just want me to wait till the test is over to pull them. I'd prefer to not sit around all day doing nothing and actually do my job! Ok, sorry, mini rant! But I totally understand your frustration! I don't know why some teachers think scaring the kids is going to help! Just wait till "THE DAY." It never fails here, someone will throw up. Poor kids!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08155578810281550285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24258125.post-22192965909064240672010-03-07T01:33:15.996-05:002010-03-07T01:33:15.996-05:00You have a great way with kids, Princess. dadYou have a great way with kids, Princess. dadAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24258125.post-81936194098353602452010-03-07T01:32:30.183-05:002010-03-07T01:32:30.183-05:00You have a great way with kids, Princess! dadYou have a great way with kids, Princess! dadAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24258125.post-30599270074627754122010-03-06T13:46:03.631-05:002010-03-06T13:46:03.631-05:00Seems like a whole lot of stress on some very litt...Seems like a whole lot of stress on some very little people. Some stress isn't bad and can even push a kid to do well. But a whole LOT of stress? They have the rest of their lives for that!
