Stick to the routine!

As a special eduaciotn teacher (and parent,) I know how important routine is for my students. I get so stressed when I'm out of routine. One of the things I look forward to the most every day is my routine walk. Yes, the same walk every day. I can think, destress, daydream, unwind and NOT think about where I am going. It never fails to make me feel so much better about whatever is occuring in my life.

Mixed Messages

Principal: I want you to go to this meeting. This student is being transferred back to us from the alternative school because his behavior has improved.

Later, at the meeting.

Alternative school teacher: He has a lot of inappropriate behaviors in class. We think he needs to be where his peers have more appropriate behavior.

Need I say more? We will find out the truth soon. I hope the part of that truth is that he needs a good teacher.
