Burn out
By Gail

Hi,
Last year I was burned out too....but in October. I had 23 and 9 sped kids....some of them behavior....and probably 3 more that should've been!!! I can relate!! I looked over the class and realized how many were
only children, how many had a tough family life and how many parents just didn't put education as a high priority! I had some children that were absent over 35 days last year!!!!!
Then, I decided that I needed to pamper myself a bit. I made sure I left school at the appointed time.......didn't stay a minute later! I treated myself to something new each week. Either dinner with an

old friend, a new outfit or dinner out alone with my husband. :-) It helped immensely and this year I have a class of 15 and they are wonderful! Some years you just get that kind of class........its important to take a deep breath and relax a bit...and realize better days are coming!
