Hi Hap,

->  she often will call them at home to see if they are hn> available

-> Sounds like a good idea.  If I were to sign on as a sub, I'd want to do
-> it tha way--for a specific teacher/school.

 hn> She has a list of good ones and does her
 hn> best to get them when she needs to be out
 hn> of the classroom.

Always helpful to know who your sub will be.

->  teacher your dad subbed for, hn> it's folks like that staying in the
->  profession that give hn> teaching a bad rap.

-> Very much so!  He was the son of one of the local doctors--thought he
-> was big stuff when he was in hgh school, then came back home to teach.
-> didn't seem to be too well equipped to teach high school.  She would
-> have done better at the middle school level.

 hn> I had good teachers with a few
 hn> exceptions, Amanda had great teachers
 hn> all the way up through school.

Both Steve and I had some good, some not so good.  Our girls had the
same, but a lot more teachers than we did; thanks to the military moves.
Rachel had co-ed home ec and shop; Deborah never had home ec but
keyboarding/basic typing 3 different times.

->  hn> IEP's are a relatively new invention, when "mainstreaming"
->  hn> became popular back in the late 80's and early 90's. Now it's

-> I'd never heard of them until Rachel started taking education courses.
-> Even when I was in college & knew a lot of those in the teaching
-> programs, they were not in use.

 hn> Anne's first teaching degree was in Special
 hn> Education, her masters is in Early Childhood
 hn> Special ed, so she had LOTS of training in them
 hn> when she was first teaching.

Sounds like it!  Did you take over the cooking when she went back to
school or when she started teaching?

-> That's a help!  But she can read one, know what is expected of the
-> student and if the student is meeting those expectations--if the teacher
-> writes a coherent IEP, that is. (G)

 hn> The teacher is part of the committee
 hn> but the IEP's are not written by the
 hn> teacher (unless it's a special ed class
 hn> and not mainstreamed). It's written
 hn> by the "special ed specialist" and
 hn> the committee in conjunction with
 hn> (often) the child's doctor, therapist
 hn> and such.

A whole lot of people hoping to help students.  If it helps, then it's
probably worth while.  If not,.........................

->  hn> doctors as well...and tells her which ones
->  hn> to go to for the best information and treatment.

-> Sounds like one I'd like to have if we ever move out that way.

 hn> Anne likes him and I do too..but he's
 hn> not my doctor :(

Steve and I have the same one (first time in years!) but he has the VA
too.  I've got a couple of specialists he doesn't.

->  hn> it will do, (a series of three shots will follow) she'll
->  hn> be really on her way "out of the woods" on this
->  hn> problem. (we are keeping our fingers crossed!!)

-> Hope and pray that it is. Meanwhile, watch the back--careful on bending
-> down to kid level, no major gardening work and so forth.

 hn> She's be restricted from all of those since
 hn> November.

Just a reminder; sometimes it helps after a while.

-> I know.

 hn> Her first round of chemo starts tomorrow.

First of how many?

-> -> to take with food, you have to be careful not to eat so much you can't
-> -> sleep because of that.  I went to the doctor today as a follow on for a
-> -> couple of med changes we made last month.  Going to keep up with
 hn> them
-> -> which means a light munchie before bed time still.  A lot of times I'll
-> -> grab a small cup of yogurt.
 hn> ->
->  hn> I'm trying to figure out a way to
