Appalled??? Feel lucky
By Suzie

Clip to ScrapBook   
Hi,
Firstly, I completely understand how hard it all is. BUT, I am in Australia and I needed to say that re: being appalled at someone you know having 25 K kids with a full-day assistant- try this.
I have 28 K/1's
which includes:

* 1 ADD child
* 1 Autistic child
* 4 behaviour problems
* 5 "I don't know what they are, but they've gotta be something" types!!!

My class make-up: 20 boys, 8 girls AND

I'M ON MY OWN Full-Time! This is the norm here ok. I get a teacher assistant for
1.5 hrs per WEEK.
You are so lucky if you get an aide anytime, so please try not to complain.

Lots

of parental support is needed to prevent a loss of communication and regular talks with the Learning Support teacher (mainly to air my stresses) is what I do!

Good luck to us all I say.
