heehee, Flare... Red light of doom! I thought I was the only one that felt this way when that light is blazing first thing in the morning!!

I used to work elementary, now I am (thankfully!) in a high school. There is a huge difference between elementary and high school teachers. They are all fairly helpless, but elementary are waaaay more needy! Oh lordy, are they needy! Common sense is ...

It is awesome!! I LOVE working at the high school! :) :) :)

Oh. My. Goodness. This is absurd...

I responded to 2 panic attacks today.

OMG, that is crazy!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been meaning to ask about this... I live in NY, so the 2 inmates that escaped from an upstate facility is still pretty big news. It's interesting to me, because I have been working per diem in a county jail for several months now. So, how comm...

2.5 hours left for me!!!!!!!

So interesting. I absolutely can't wrap my head around this. But, as amoLucia mentioned, it's like teachers getting involved with students. Wrong on so many levels, and tons of risk. Terrible, terrible idea... Thanks for the insight, everyone!

I have done elementary for 4 years, and in the fall I'll be doing high school. I'm excited for the change, for all of the reasons you have given! :) I say, go for it.

Congrats on your weight loss! I don't blame you one bit for wanting to look good at work. When you look good, you feel good! I think if you used the word "nice" instead of "sexy" in your title, you wouldn't be taking such a beating. People are takin...

Yikes. IMO, 3-11 is a nightmare! I only did it per diem, but at a hospital not a snf. Lots of admissions. Lots of patients that are getting very annoyed that their discharge is taking too long. Plus, if you have school aged kids, you can forget abou...

WHOA!!!! Very interesting thread... I wish I had something to add.

Nope, I'm in NY and still at school, too... :) I have 5 more full days, and 3 half days to go!

I'd be really interested in knowing, too. Thanks!

Whoa!!! Good to know...

I will be back, despite my ranting and raving... I will be starting with a new district, and working with high school students beginning in September! I have high hopes!! :)

I was called to the playground, and told to bring a wheelchair. I went out to find a child that bumped his shin on the monkey bars... They were afraid to let him walk, because he was starting to get a light bruise on his shin... *sigh*

:roflmao:

One parent gave me a pretty little plant. I passed a teacher in the hallway that said, "Happy Nurse Day, week, whatever it is! I heard something about it on the radio this morning." She never even broke her stride. LOL My principal sent me an email. ...

Yes, I have to do it. My school will NOT change the policy, despite what the dictrict md says...

I feel your pain. My school is this way, and has absolutely no intentions of changing.

BOO! This makes me so mad.

I'm not sure yet... We'll see what happens over the summer. I'm not getting my hopes up, though.

That is awesome!!!!!!
