Jealous of what? The fact that you stalk our board just to post random meanness? I'm pretty sure I'm not jealous, but if it makes you feel better about your self to think so, go for it. You never post anything about yourself all you do is make rude comments to those of us who are friends here and I'm sick of ignoring your posts that are mean to my friends.

29 is my biggest class, 26 is my smallest...so it's less than 180 RIGHT NOW. I have had up to 190 2 separate years (the groups were 2 years apart...and the second group was the largest group of 6th graders our school ever had). I have had up to 33 in a class.

I have to commend all you teachers that can keep track of all your kids' names each you. You guys have so many students you see day and day out, I don't know how you do it.

LOL! During the school year it's not hard, once they leave school and come back to visit that is when it is tricky!

I well remember those days when I only had one infant.Dale had to travel a lot like he does now.I kind of resented the fact that he had to travel and I was stuck at home with an infant that seemed to hate me(not true,but you know how the first few months are)Plus when he was home he never really did anything to stop Gab from crying.Then if I wanted to go out I felt guilty for leaving Gabby with him.Plus we were getting ready to move into this house and Dale was up here every night until 10 or so working on the house.So even though he was working hard and certainly not being lazy I did kind of resent what I perceived as his freedom.He could still do whatever I had to ask.Once Gab became a toddler it was easier,since her and I joined some classes and I took her to the library and such,and there were other moms there with traveling hubsands.Even now that she is 13 I am still the one that keeps track of where she has tp be and when.Plus 95% of the time I need to take her.When Dale does take her he ask 500 times when she has to be there.It isn't as if dance changes from week to week.So I understand where you are coming from and you have three seperate age groups to deal with.Each has their own set of challanges.

it's not bitterness or jealousy, it's the nature of your posts. Even though you often add positive within your posts, they all have negativity in them. We don't come here to judge each other...and we definitely don't post here to be judged...we post here for support. Nobody's (regulars, that is) jealous of someone who comes off so negative all the time.

You have never requested support for yourself, and anytime you post it's usually less than supportive, and that's what these boards are for...not negativity.

The title of this folder is "In-House Therapy Chat"...nobody wants to post in such a folder to be judged or to be replied to with negative comments.

There are boards, however, that your type of posts are more welcome on..they are considered the debate boards. This board is NOT a debate board.

I knew from prior posts your 14-year old was from an earlier relationship -- what does that have to do with anything?

I'm usually good about getting their names down within a week.

You know what made me feel so bad. Okay, first of all, this is Aly's grade level--so I know a few students because she's friends with them. Second, I had 6th grade morning & lunch duty at the beginning half of the year last year. Third, the 6th grade Spanish class met in my classroom on my planning period for a nine weeks. And fourth, I know a bunch of the Beta students from last year. Well, that means I know about half of the students by name already. The ones I didn't know by name...so many of them appeared HURT that I named the kid in front of them as they walked in my class, but didn't know their name. I felt so bad. But what am I supposed to do--act like I don't know anybody's name? I told them, I'll know your name by next week!!!

Oh, I hate when I see a kid I KNOW outside of school, but can't remember his/her name. They'll be like, "Hey, Mrs. G!", and I'll be like, "Hey, sweetie...how are you? Going to 10th grade this year, right? I miss having you in my 3rd hour."....

There was one last year, I saw right before school started...I knew he was going to 10th grade, I even knew that he was in my 3rd hour class when he was in 7th grade...but I couldn't remember his name until AFTER he left!!

And there were 2 girls one year...both blondes, both basketball players....but I had them in different classes. I knew who they were in class, but never outside of class.
