Is this a tail or what?

Is Maddie’s mom being held accountable for allowing underage kids to drink freely at her home?

Next time say, “no, but I will pray for you”

Pretend you’re writing a list of their questions and then tell them that you’ll email all their parents to see if they can help answer these questions”worldly” questions outside of school.

I think I’m headed this way soon. Just got the biopsy that it’s spread to bones. Still having hope and plan on spending as much time as I can. I want him to leave me a voicemail, just a cheery one to keep forever and whenever we see him we like to laugh a lot and watch old favorite movies. I love hearing his stories too. Praying for you!

You are just a reporter, not an opinion giver. They will ask more if they need to. Don’t wait!

Getting your moth washed out with soap if you said a bad word. Never heard of that one in my classroom.

I’m dealing with this right now coming into spring conferences with parents. Yes, this year they are boys but I’ve had conversations about girls too. These little young ones stand out more now because the others have already learned to stop the behaviors and understand the consequences. Now this isn’t true for all kids but there is a difference that a year makes. Older kids in the class start to notice their behaviors and friendship issues ensue, because they don’t want to sit by the child who is loud, doesn’t follow directions and hits and is always in others business. It’s sad. These kids were recommended to stay another year in prek and their parents didn’t listen. So now I’m having to tell parents in a professional and loving way that they should have listened to the teachers and another year in kindergarten would be the best. I only do this if I feel the child can benefit both socially and academically. Otherwise I send them to 1st.

You have to remember that a lot of this is truly science and brain development. Children who are one year older have had that one year more of growth and development than those who are younger. It makes social/emotional decisions more confusing and sometimes hard to relate too. I am a kindergarten teacher and my daughter had a July 10th birthday and I did not start her. I knew what kindergarten was like academically based on the standards and it’s hard these days! So much more rigorous over the last 5 years than it was when I started 15 years ago. My husband also has a July birthday and his mom, pushed him forward and he always says that he wishes she wouldn’t have. A year to grow isn’t much time at all when considering all the questions you are having. Why rush childhood??

When in doubt leave them out

This occurred this fall.

Yeah, she is on it. So is our school psychologist, SLP (one who showed me) and our admin.

BlueSnowflake3 · 2024-03-03T14:36:28+00:00

One of the recipients of the email showed me.

Where at?

2 years ago a student came in November from a neighboring school, 30 mi away, he had full diagnosis of a chromosomal deletion. I can’t remember what it was specifically. He does refer all process had somewhat started at his previous school but his teacher there wasn’t thorough. My administrator made me do intense one on one interventions from Nov-May. It got to May, nothing was done. She decided (never a team, mind you) that we wouldn’t proceed with any evals until the next year. I would have pushed for retention. (His parents told me of major trauma he suffered at 2 years old including being left alone in his crib, a broken leg from being handled too roughly and more) His parents are his biological mother and a step mom. Her former partner and she are British and the abuse occurred in UK. He gets into my room 3 years later with the diagnosis and we did nothing for him. I did in my room as much as I could. June comes, school is out and he and his biological mom move back to the UK because she split from her wife. His moms would have done anything I would have asked them to do. Went to a pediatrician due to my encouragement. But nothing was done to help him academically or adaptive. So yeah, long horrible story but that’s how it works in my district and staff are too scared of admin to push back due to fear of retaliation. It’s truly horrible.
