[QUOTE="1 Day At a Time, post: 194054, member: 3704"] Sharon, I agree with Daisylover - these kids are lucky to have you. But you are just one person with waaaaay too much on your plate. Would there be any possibility of getting a couple of aides to work with you? If that's not possible, would it be helpful to have parents come in on a rotating basis to assist? I know that I would definitely be willing to do that for my difficult child's teachers. If that would not be helpful (maybe more work than it's worth?) ... how about student interns? I utilized them heavily when I managed a program that didn't have the $$$ to hire more staff. It was some extra work, I won't lie, but ultimately it was a great win-win proposition. It sounds like you are such a good teacher that students could really benefit from observing and working with you. (See I have some parental self interest in this :) ) You and your students are definitely in my thoughts and prayers. [/QUOTE]
