============================
Hola Ruth!
-> 
-> -> Yes, then they will be happy to sub for you.  In turn, you (the teacher)
-> -> get more detailed (without sounding whiney) reports on how the kids
-> -> behaved.
-> 
->  hn> True, and the kids have a bit of consistancy
->  hn> in terms of already knowing the sub, and
->  hn> that things will run smoothly as directed by
->  hn> Anne.
-> 
-> Sounds like a good deal all around.  Sub gets a job she likes, Anne gets
-> a sub she likes and kids have consistancy in teaching.
-> 
Yep, and it does make a difference!

-> -> both teachers and both had a child from a previous marriage, still of
-> -> elementary school age.  The agreement was that one would cook; the
->  hn> other
-> -> would help with homework.  He cooked; he also retired a few years ago
-> -> and kept on with the cooking job, even tho all kids were out of school.
-> -> She retired last year, don't know if she's doing any of the cooking now.
-> 
->  hn> I was the cook from the start, Anne can
->  hn> cook, but (a) doesn't enjoy it like I do, and
->  hn> (b) doesn't do it as well as I do (most dishes
->  hn> at least, she does have some specialties), and
->  hn> (c)has to have a recipe right in front of her
->  hn> to do a dish.
-> 
-> As long as you're both happy with the deal.  We talked a bit with my
-> parents tonight; they've been enjoying the various meals we brought up
-> for them.  As I said to them, "a change from your usual meat & potatoes
-> rut"--which s true.  Don't know if I'll do another round before we go up
-> in June or not, haven't decided yet.
->
After 37 years, we've eache pretty much
found our niche and we work well together.
Works for us, which is the only criteria we
require.
  
-> ->  hn> Yep, and the parents are part of that committee
-> ->  hn> as well, and sometimes they work and sometimes........
-> 
-> -> Having active parental involvement makes a huge difference toward a 
kid
-> -> being educable or not.
-> 
->  hn> That depends on the parents, their agenda, and
->  hn> whether they are fully capable of dealing with
->  hn> real issues or want to pretend that they don't
->  hn> exist. Which happens a lot actually!
-> 
-> I know; and the kid is the one hurt by the parent(s) trying to deny a
-> problem exsists.
->
Some don't deny it, but have no clue as
to how to deal with it...Although some are
so far in denial they're speaking egyptian (grin)
 
-> ->  hn> gets hers through work, and I get mine
-> ->  hn> through the feds.
-> 
-> -> Ours is Tricare for retired military, basically.  The VA handles Steve's
-> -> special needs; mine are done thru UNC-CH.
-> 
->  hn> To be expected, you're retired military!
-> 
-> For almost a year now.  I still miss some aspects of it but am
-> adjusting.  With Steve having a different class schedule every semester,
-> I don't have the consistancy of him being gone from 9 to 5 (home for
-> lunch at some assignments) that we pretty much had the last few years.
-> He'd have early morning PT and sometimes all day range but the schedule
-> was, over all, very consistant.
->
You can still throw him out of the house at 5:30 am
and yell GO PT at him! (grin)
 
-> ->  hn> Don't know for sure, I think it
-> ->  hn> depends on how she reacts to
-> ->  hn> the  treatments...and how the tumor
-> ->  hn> reacts as well.
-> 
-> -> The latter is the most important factor there.
-> 
->  hn> So far as I know at this point it's three rounds
->  hn> of Chemo...with two rounds of radiation in
->  hn> between.
->  hn> Spoke with her yesterday and she had a
->  hn> "sleepy" day, took lots of naps but felt
->  hn> pretty good...at least that's what she
->  hn> told us (grin).
-> 
-> Some people take it better than others.  Then, too, first treatment is
-> just beginning to put the stuff into her system.
-> 
-> 
She had her second session yesterday, we'll
find out soon how it went.
chat with you soon!
