[QUOTE="Californiablonde, post: 709333, member: 2196"] Writing this all down in a journal is a great idea. I am sure I will need to be reminded from time to time. I am sorry things are so stressful for you at work right now. I have also noticed we have way more teachers absent lately. I think everybody is burning out towards the end of the year. We definitely have had a lot more subs lately. We have also had more absences. By this time in the year, kids figure out what they can get away with, and start ditching more. It doesn't help that our school is doing away with consequences. At least as far as truancies are concerned. We uses to give out detentions. One of our assistant principals said that it really didn't help much, so we don't give them out anymore. We also used to have Friday school, where the kids had to stay after school on Fridays for three hours for truancies. We don't do that anymore either. Nobody wants to stay late after work on Fridays to oversee a bunch of truant kids. The kids now know the school won't give any consequences for their actions, so now they just don't show up. It is entirely up to the parents to deal with their kids skipping school, but sadly, many of them don't. Anyway, I hope the rest of the year goes smoothly for you, and just think, summer is right around the corner! [/QUOTE]
