Good for you Sugarbear!

Sorry for my delayed response, but I was teaching all day and in therapy this evening.

I will tell you that working with kids is rewarding, challenging, and keeps me so busy I NEVER think about drinking while working. My challenge was always getting home from school without stopping at a liquor store to calm down my brain- at least that's how it started.

Best of luck!

By the way- I just re-read and saw you will be in special education. Even better! That's where I've been for 20 years!

There are two other women in my department (ACP/sped) that are in AA. I joked with them we could start our own litttle meeting at lunch time.

Congratulations Sugarbear! I have the same job. I'm a paraeducator in 5th grade and I work with kids on the sped spectrum. I love my job but it can be challenging some years. I'm out for the summer next Thursday so I'm really loving my job now

I have 20+ years experience as a special education teacher. I just haven't taught for the last 11 years, so getting my foot (back) in the door is a good thing!

1:1 assistant teacher is almost like being a teacher, for now.

They are checking one more reference at the school I was subbing at and I am hoping it is a positive thing.....

Until that contract is signed.... just hoping this is where I am meant to be.....
