One of our preschoolers needed to come to my office today. I'm not scary, so it's not really a punishment, just a break. While I was talking to me he told me that his mom went on a trip so she couldn't yell at him. I asked him who yelled at him while she was gone. He told me that his dad could yell pretty...

rangerrick:
shame that kids have to grow up with that kind of stuff...
rangerrick:
yeah - I guess I did mean the yelling - while you provided a snapshot, I guess I focused on the yelling part and that the kid seemed to identify with the yelling as opposed to playing or reading, or something fun...
Miscommunication
In one of our preschool rooms, Child A hit Child B with a toy school bus. This gave Child B a lovely red mark right below her eye. Since we don't generally want parents to walk in at the end of the day and be suddenly confronted with an obvious injury, I ask the teacher in that room to call Child B's father and...

Yesterday, I was interviewing a woman for an Associate Teacher position in one of our Infant rooms. When I asked her what she would do if one child bit another child, she got a puzzled look on her face and asked, "Has that ever happened here?"
I almost laughed out loud.

Nothing's new. The same shit only it keeps getting worse. I think that's the problem.

hi. it's good to be back. thanks for the welcome

my adopted home is alexandria, va. i was actually born and raised in beaumont, tx. i lived here in va for three years while stationed at andrews afb. i went to los angeles for a year with the air force and now i'm back in dc. i've left the military and i'm working for a government defense contractor out here.
i think of alexandria, va and, more specifically, old town, as my home because i've never been happier in a place in my life. it's almost bordering on manic how happy this place makes me.

It's going to be a rough transition. I've been at my current center for five years. It's like...

hey, I didn't know you were on this thing too!
turin:
eh, you know. sometimes you think you grok it, sometimes you know you don't. how is the climb up the corporate ladder? the only thing I hate more than being in charge is not being in charge. I don't think I'd do well in an office situation.
One of my fish just had about 16 babies!
