zorroloco 03-Dec-24, 08:38	And Working with the most interesting kids in the school 😉
apatzer 03-Dec-24, 08:58	Indeed, I was one of those kids 😅. Dyslexia and ADHD, also from a broken home and a very abusive Father. Which actually was a blessing in disguise as my mother and I were removed from the Abuse when he committed Adultery when I five. Those children just learn differently and aren't pressed into the cookie cutter assembly line. 😉 Teachers who showed me love or what is known as tough but fair love. Had the greatest impact on me.
zorroloco 03-Dec-24, 09:04	Patz I try. As a sub, our time is limited. But never too short to show genuine love and caring
apatzer 03-Dec-24, 09:23	That's good 😊
zorroloco 03-Dec-24, 10:25	Oof Little Ireland - 1st grade w Down’s Syndrome. Alex - Kindergartner with a Mohawk and a wandering streak… I carry walky-talky in case ‘Student A is out of the classroom!’ 2nd grade Billie who won’t get out from under the table. And snotty hugs full of contagion 🤣🤣 So much fun
apatzer 03-Dec-24, 10:33	Sounds like you have your hands full today. Nothing worth doing is easy.
zorroloco 03-Dec-24, 10:42	Patz It’s relatively easy compared to managing a classroom. Keeping focus on what’s important - ie the students’ well-being. I talk to them with respect and humor and understand that my role is simply to make this moment more enjoyable and meaningful. Quite different than subbing as a classroom teacher. And that is utterly different than actually teaching a class on a daily basis
zorroloco 03-Dec-24, 12:15	Lol Sitting in a dark gym for 20 minutes while Alex runs in circles Putting my education and experience to work. 🤣🤣
aussiespud 03-Dec-24, 14:09	Special Ed teachers are a different breed… the ones who worked with our son saved his ( and our) lives…… In his last year at SE school he was presented with a “most improved” Award. Every year since then we have funded a similar award for a child from the graduating class. I presented it last week to a wonderful young person who, among other things, is non verbal with significant behavioural issues but who , in spite of all her challenges, will lead her best life with the support of a loving family and friends
zorroloco 03-Dec-24, 14:29	Stewart I second that. They need to have the patience of a saint, the work ethic of a ceo and the compassion of another saint. Chris, the guy I covered for today is amazing. You and your wife have done amazing work with your son. You should be proud
