    School Culture - can we shift it? maybe a little?

    100kids replied to CAdreamerRN's topic in School

    Definitely have a very sensitive school here as well but I try to make little changes each year to toughen everybody up a little, kids and adults alike. For one I don't send a lot of children home...

    100kids replied to RNqueens's topic in School

    If I had a relationship with this student I might "accidentally" bump into them and engage in conversation to give her an opportunity to tell me if she wants to but even if she tells you you can't...

    A real Lunch Break!

    100kids replied to guest83140's topic in School

    I did not have a set lunch time either and I never got one-exactly as you describe. I would pick a time and stick to it. That's the only way you will ever get a true lunch break and you need one!...

    Inhalers?

    100kids replied to Supernrse01's topic in School

    Is the concept of respect dead?

    100kids replied to Windchaser22's topic in School

    I'm big on manners in my room. No barging in and making demands, you must use please and thank you. I make my own kids do it, I make the students in the school do it. Why don't people realize how...
