I reached a new low in my career today. For the first time in 25 years, I left a meeting early simply because I was near tears. I held it together until I ran into Susan Alderson Rutledge in the hallway. At least she loves me and knows Im not totally crazy!! Then I ran into Joel Henson in the parking lot and he got to hear my rant. But, once in the car, I lost it again. I feel like Special Education is no longer individualized as it is supposed to be. We are no longer doing what is right for the kids. I realized in this meeting today, that my two students I have out in other classes, will either have to go out full time or come back to me full time. I dont mind having them with me at all. It actually is easier for me if they stay with me all day. However, I feel like that will be holding them back. Yet, I dont think they are ready for me to throw them into the deep end and yell SWIM. And thats just one of several issues. So frustrating. Think I am calling Montgomery tomorrow and setting up an appointment with one of the retirement counselors. I really cant afford to retire, but I also am not going to be miserable either.
