They ...don't you wish we could be like horses. They put the blinders on the horse, and they don't have to look left or right. What others do don't effect them. They just get to look forward and make their own steady progress.<br />I want a pair of magic blinders.Jacquiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11730439017378641770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3773250415790655282.post-67691578975203276612010-04-13T18:59:44.232-05:002010-04-13T18:59:44.232-05:00Geez, Heidi, how did you know this was the topic o...Geez, Heidi, how did you know this was the topic of discussion in therapy today??? Yes, it is the indecision that is killing me and it is time. A decision will be made by next Monday. Other irons in the fire I have yet to write about, will determine the outcome.<br />I so appreciate all your feedback and support. Stay tuned!Liberty Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12027499609835665307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3773250415790655282.post-71195896435439125662010-04-13T11:21:07.540-05:002010-04-13T11:21:07.540-05:00I have been reading your words since you began man...I have been reading your words since you began many months ago. You are a caring, enthusiastic, challenging teacher who was on the right path in regard to advocating for your students. Only you can answer this. Can you continue in this regard? It appears to me that you are thinking thoughtfully, but now it is time get serious about what you will do this upcoming school year. There is only one question in regards to you going back to the classroom. You need to ask yourself, can I work within the system or not? If you cannot, then don't go back. If you can foresee an uphill struggle which you are not afraid to take on, then do go back. It is time to make a decision, move on and go forward with the truth as you see it now. Once you have made your choice, you can move on productively to whatever the next step is. <br />It matters to the students whose lives you affect every day. If you are able to separate your school life from your home life, I foresee a very fulfilling and happier woman. If this is not your path at this time, then you should move on to whatever next awaits you and put behind you, your sadness, regrets and disappointments. You have to decide what you can do. Perhaps you "care" too much. This is not a bad thing per se. However, you could most likely, be a fantastic teacher that cares a ton but then purposely leaves at school, school stuff. It would not be easy for one that takes on the souls of these children as it appears you do. I think you could try though.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05744597390658291056noreply@blogger.com
