In NYC the administrators are getting younger and have less teaching experience. They haven't been practitioners long enough. Bobbi - Kathleen, that's a question that I'm beginning to explore. Helping children deal with stress is mentioned in the book, but more work needs to be done in this area. Bobbi - Charlene, Try to decide what you need to do to feel comfortable.
Some teachers only work during the week.
Others said they only work for three hours on the weekend. By the time they had finished, they were relaxed and didn't need to talk about it. It helps me be more positive. Evelyn - I agree positive people make a difference in your everyday work. I have a negative teacher in my school that I avoid.
