I just received an email from my SW. They are closing the office that I work with and she is leaving the agency. My file will be transferred to another office, a new SW assigned, and all for naught since my agency has no H accreditation and they can't help me anyway. What's next is all I can say????
This and my Monday turned Friday (due to the Jewish holidays and the next two days off) was a nightmare. They seriously don't pay me enough to deal with these kids. It's only September and I'm so burnt out for this year. I really think I'm losing my edge. I just don't have "it" anymore. My parting words to my VP today were "at least I have 100+ sick days banked". She looked frightened. I looked done.
I know I just need to regroup...
or I'm gonna need a 12 step program... I'm just saying.
A little bit less of me!

girl special ed land can be a scary place....and you my friend are in deep! But seriously the stories you have accumulated over the years:)
You need to write a book! You can title it " you can't scare me, I work in a self contained special ed classroom"
You've got Sped Head :P
Come up north and I'll help you drink yourself silly! :)
I know what you mean about being 'done' for the year. I am finished, over it, done! I think it is time to to go regular ed for a while, and I don't deal with the load you do. I feel for you sister!
Enjoy your two days off. Sorry to hear about the SW. We have a new one two. What a crazy mess this wait has become.
Hugs!
Yep...sounds like a nice long soak-up of bankable days may be a good order.
I couldn't do it...I just get 'em out. After that, all bets are off. My hat is off to ya.
I've always said, "It doesn't pay to be competent!" ... the better you are at handling THOSE kids, the more of them they give you ... or the harder it is to get out of it! Then you end up broken ...
Be good to yourself ... take the days you need ... know it's not personal!
It's going to be a long, long year ... for all of us!
Hey Kristen!
I am sending you peace and hugs.
What's going to happen now that your agency doesn't have accreditation?
Has anyone given you an answer?
Sorry about your students...I hear ya on being done...I am done myself!
Oh no. Are they closing the AFTH office? You will be ok. The H accredit. will come or you will be with another (may I say snazzier?!) agency most likely.
As for your class. Take a day or two or three off. I feel for you. BTW baby shower December 6th. =)
Oh girl. You need a hug and a good drink. I could help but you're too far away damn it.
I ditto all the above comments. I don't 'it' and I know it.
As for the agency issue....ugh....it seems there is a never ending supply of bad tricks in the long wait to China.
