    diabetic question and stuff

    My T1D on an OmniPod pump doses before. I always make her go over her snack/ lunch and make sure she is going to eat everything. She is horrible about coming to me when she is low and when she gets...

    My kid is THAT kid!

    NO, NO, and NO! That exacerbates the problem. I go round and round about this with my students. I used Vaseline until a student decided that handfuls double dipped were adequate dosages for his whole...

    My kid is THAT kid!

    You are an enabler and didn't even know it. I think this is a woman thing, does anyone know of a male addict (besides my

    A&E should do an Interventions episode on this. It is obviously a nationwide

    My kid is THAT kid!

    My wife wants to start a 12 step program with you and my son who she has passed the addiction on to. Burt's Bees are her drug of choice. She laughed the whole time I was reading this. She agreed with...

    No Bathroom UGH

    My position was an afterthought, in fact, we don't have enough room for the students at our school. I have never had running water or bathroom in my area. I send students to the bathroom to wash out...

    School taken for granted

    Sometimes it is too easy to project our abstract thinking onto concrete thinking kids. I get where you are coming from, but before 6th or 7th grade, that thought process just isn't developed. The...

    Emergency Calls- How long do we wait?

    You are in a unique position. Your school has decided to do the CMA route to save costs, apparently. It puts you, specifically, in a hard place as you have found by the need to hear condescending...

    how long do you wait?

    The unspoken part of this is the grey area of you being covered by your employer. If you are staying past when you get paid, you are no longer considered an employee for that time. Should that tummy...
  13. We started Sept. 9th, but like I said, we don't really have sporadic days off, only 5 all year. It makes for long stretches of 5 day weeks. Really makes it

    Apologizing to you all

    Don't fret the small stuff. Most of us realize venting here. I admit to cringing when I see name calling, but our society uses it so much that I understand where it comes from, and I don't judge a...

    Apologizing to you all

  16. I may decide to do my Cape Anne trip then, I didn't know that schools stayed in so long. The down side, long stretches of five day weeks. We rarely get a day off, just long winter and spring
  17. I am torn, as much as a bonus day off would be great, we get out May 29, almost 2 and a half weeks before public schools in our area. It would be so great to take our local vacation before they get...

    diabetic question and stuff

    I have explained to the teachers that food is medicine to my T1D. She must snack whether her classmates do or not. Our school does lunch together and there is a no eating until everyone is in the...

    C'Mon Now!

    I was hanging at the window overseeing recess when I saw a girl walking up the hill with a hand over her eye. I saw that she was able to open it and seemed fine, hopeful, but no. She went to the...

    C'Mon Now!

    He never even made it to class, he came to me EVERY DAY at the beginning of the day, I had him sit out and excused his absence because we didn't have doctor's clearance. Mom eventually said this...

    Emergency Calls- How long do we wait?

    Use the word "liability" a lot, that is the word that administration will cue in to. That GM being there and advising different does not lessen culpability, the school is liable. Trust your gut, your...

    Never heard this one before!

    I see a huge difference in the rural area I live and the urban area I work. I have a small handful of snowflakes at school, but the adult children of the urban clientele are ridiculous, mostly 30-50...

    Emergency Calls- How long do we wait?

    Four minutes, that's what you have once a person goes into respiratory arrest. Ventilations and intubation are marginally effective for asthmatics in full bronchospasm, they can die in the ER. That...
