I completely agree. It&...Very, very well written. I completely agree. It's taken me years of teaching to get to a place where I feel like I'm remembering and relying on these ideas. Working with students with special needs behaviorally, socially, and academically, I've learned to become very patient and that every day is a brand new day. When people have asked me how I can be so patient I tell them about how I used to feel bad for myself, saying "I wish I didn't have to be the most patient person in the world!" But one time I decided to NOT be patient all day was the most horrible, terrible day ever. Letting our own stuff affect the kids just creates a crazy, stressful, never-ending cycle. Luckily this was one of those "fake it til you make it" successes, because being patient with my students just comes naturally now (well, most of the time haha). This got long, look what you made me do! hahaInge Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00373045802815640536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6486919973260130769.post-61017810793984551322013-09-21T11:09:18.978-07:002013-09-21T11:09:18.978-07:00Thanks for the reminder. #3 especially hit home an...Thanks for the reminder. #3 especially hit home and made me laugh!

Thanks for the reminder that it's okay to balance life with work, the reminder as to WHY I got into education, and to remember the bigger picture. :)Mrs. Teacher Ma'amhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10467089832503918446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6486919973260130769.post-64387278419465994082013-09-21T09:22:16.511-07:002013-09-21T09:22:16.511-07:00I teach elementary school and can relate to all of...I teach elementary school and can relate to all of this.
