Hey Ruth!
-> 
-> ->  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.
-> 
It pays to pay attention and know them well!

-> ->  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.
->
I would hesitate to count how many teachers
or even schools I had! Now that I am thinking 
about it I had some real LuLu's during those years!
 
-> ->  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?
->
Uh....when we got married! I sometimes think 
she married me for my cooking (grin)!
 
-> -> 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,.........................
->
Yep, and the parents are part of that committee
as well, and sometimes they work and sometimes........
 
-> ->  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.
->
Anne and I have different health plans, she
gets hers through work, and I get mine 
through the feds.
 
-> ->  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.
-> 
She had her first shot today, and 
we're hoping that it will be helpful!
all fingers and toes are crossed!

->  hn> Her first round of chemo starts tomorrow.
-> 
-> First of how many?
->
Don't know for sure, I think it
depends on how she reacts to 
the  treatments...and how the tumor 
reacts as well.
 
chat with you soon!
