Quite frequently. Send them right back to the building admin to address the issue. It gets better than that however, with the parent jump, super everyone and go straight to the board meeting. And again, a good BOE sends them right back to the personnel, building, or administrator to address the issue.

Yes. Happening in my neck of the woods too. Very different than a few years ago.

Absolutely, then hRshly expecting rights for a situation where a child has nothing but be rude and parents and principal were fighting principal now cuts her staff in half. DO can't get rid of her or the director of sped.....advice?

My partner of 5 years ended our relationship last night. I’m shattered and feel absolutely sick, and I know the healing isn’t going to be easy. We were on the verge of an engagement and I was ready to spend the rest of my life with him.

I don’t know how to approach work during this time. I think I can get by, but I’m definitely not 100%. Should I talk to my boss about it? My team is close-knit and comfortable around each other, but I don’t know if it’s “appropriate.” What would you do?

Busy season was rough, things are looking better now as things return to normal. Still working crazy hours if you count the daycare duties on top of utilization targets.
