I think that's a decision best made on a case-by-case basis with a committee. Some kids benefit from more time with content while others need something completely different, like resources for academically challenged students and testing for services.

If they are academically, socially, and behaviorally immature, I say so. But if they have 1 or 2 of the 3, than let the student move on and try to get batter where they are lacking

No! There is no research that supports retention. It only widens gaps, damaged self-esteem, and hinders social growth. There are so many other (research-based) Strategies and resources out there

I was recently approached by a recruiter about a position as a litigation attorney at the DOJ.

Thanks to all who offered advice on retirement and FMLA. I think I will just retire after my sick days are used up. I'm 58, over 28 years teaching. Pension is good. I'm just worried about district not accepting Anxiety as medical reason. Can they fight me. Will a simple note from Dr or therapist explaining I am seeing therapist for anxiety suffice?

So, I really ****ed up today and don’t really know what to do. W/O getting into specifics, I tried to do something nice, which involved telling a lie, and then got sort-of caught, but then lied again to cover my ass, and it’s spiraled out of control and now I don’t know what to do. Obviously I need to come clean, but I just really, really f’ed up and am freaking out. Everything has been so freaking stressful lately that I’ve done things I never thought I would & don’t even know who I am anymore.
