Hi Hap,

-> 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.

-> I had one school, same building K-12 but a portable for one class, one
-> semester of my senior year. Rachel & Deborah both doubled that in
-> kindergarten.

 hn> I'm trying to remember, but I think I
 hn> had already gone through five schools
 hn> by the time I was in 4th grade!

Rachel had the same number, Deborah, one less.  Once we moved to AZ,
Rachel had all but one semester of high school there. Deborah had a year
and a half of middle school on post, then high school (same one Rachel
went to) in town for all 4 years.


-> 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.

->  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.

->  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.

->  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.
