Validation...

...not that I needed it, but....
Remember how bad my school had become last year? Just out of control behavior from the kids ~ look at my school tag if you dare! I try to forget! Well ~ when I transferred, there were about 15 teachers total that left last year. BIG SIGN that something was wrong!

Here's even MORE validation that I wasn't loosing my mind, and it wasn't me or being "burned out" on teaching. Two of the new teachers they have hired this year have already quit. It has only been one 9 week period!! They hired subs to take their spots, and the subs have already walked out! Then, the assistant principal had to go into one of the rooms one day to teach, and SHE had to call security. Hmmmm....think there is a problem here?

**PS. My new kid has had great days every since his "flip out". I have really seen him start coming out of his shell and smiling. I think he's decided he likes us! How could he not? ha!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Good grief! Sounds like there was something very wrong at that school.

I'm so glad to hear that your new student is starting to settle into your classroom! :)

Well, I'm glad you got the validation that you needed. Sounds like they need to do some major over hauling in that school!!

Wow it sounds like there are some serious problems over there. I would love to get that sort of validation too. I am so glad to hear that you got out of there. That is too bad though that they can't figure out how to solve the problem. What a nightmare for the students and teachers who REALLY want to be a part of the educational process over there.
