...seems to bring out the real craziness in my business.
A few weeks ago, a friend from the university told me that one of her profs had speculated in class that in the next five to ten years there will be a new designation of student requiring special ed help. This student will be labelled "The Pampered Child" and will require special ed help because they possess no problem-solving skills.
At first I thought she was joking, but then I encountered the following.
One day last week a parent of four told one of my colleagues, "Every day when my children get home from school I ask them how their day was."
Okay, I know what you're thinking - probably the same thing I was at this point in the story - "That's nice."
Just wait...
She continued on, "If any one of them can't tell me something positive, I call the school right away."
Wow! Think of the problem-solving skills those kids must have!

WOW!
But some days are better than others. Why would this woman do that?? Well, you can't answer that, so why am I asking you?? LOL
Yep, I bet those kids think fast, huh??
We teachers know, Lowa, that if one of us so much as looks at one of those children the wrong way, we'll get a phone call. It really is strange.
And yes, those children couldn't find their way out of a paper bag if Mommy wasn't there to guide the way.
This gives me flashbacks of my time in the trenches. I want to go hide under a blanket now.
Can I hide with you, Carrie? Just until the end of June? Please?
god forbid the kid didn't have a good day lets make it the schools fault
You've got it, Katie. It's always the school's fault!
