A Serious Drip

I have to like the setup of my classroom. Being where I teach it is an odd thing. We have fullblown bathrooms in the classroom. I mean there is everything in there. Including the typical problems. Such as my faucets that leak.

All I have to say is grrrrrr. I need some new refreshed washers and such. If it were not against the rules . . . I would so tempted to replace them myself. Maybe it will get done this summer, just like last summer.


Have a happier day

Reading Levels

At school one of the the great things we have is lots of books for kids to read.

One odd thing is that these kids have lots of time to read. I also demand lots of reading from them. This does produce great results.

We have had kids move two and three grade level in reading in one year. This I find amazing. It provides a certain amount of satisfaction that one cannot get much anywhere else.

Have a great day.

Structure

The school year is almost over. of course I only get 2 weeks off. That is not so bad. At least my students will be ready for school. They need to have structure and their generic Phentermine. Well they really need to have structure.

I mean in this school without the structure the students have problems.

Well I hope that you have a most happy day.

Contracts

Funny on how you look at contracts are for teaching. Some of the things are quite amazing. As an example, I currently have child insurance on my perk.

Others do not have such perks. Make sure that when you get your contract you check all the little things. Such as how much you pay for doctor visits and other such things.

Have a hapy day.

Working with dough

I had to do some practical living teaching. We discussed budgeting. Grrrr. Not one of my favorite topics. We had many many items to discuss and dish out. Trying to explain to students about the ins and outs of car insurance and good old home insurance is not always fun.


The students were not having fun. I mean I was out of my league, yet I did it for the most of the studnets. Of course it would help if the kids had money to work with.


Well in any case have a happy day.

Kids and Issues

One of the odd things about working in a long term residential programs . . . the kids still care what the other sex thinks even though they are separated.

They still want acne treatment for the face . . . this way they can show off to the other students. Of course we are in gender separated groups.

I do feel bad for the students as they so want to be normal.

Well have a most happy day.
