It's neurotypical awareness month
October is neurotypical awareness month. In light, I thought I would educate teachers about Neurotypical Spectrum Disorder (NSD). Here are the signs and symptoms. - Emoting and peculiar noises when confronted with adults who make ridiculous faces and sounds at them by 6 months - Excessive self-involvement by 9 months - Excessive “babbling” seemingly to […]
Missing a day and feel horrible
So, this is my ninth week in my student-teaching experience. Things have been going great. I love what I’m doing. Today started off great. I was positive, the kids were positive, and I felt that this week was going to be great. Until after lunch today. My mentor and I teach all morning and then […]

I personally think it's very telling- there is little respect for support (EIP, ESOL) teachers, little regard for their need in schools. Also, why would going back in the classroom […]
"Interesting" conversation with a teacher
Actual conversation with another teacher (OT here)... Me: Today is going to be good! OT: You know why it's going to be a good day, right? Me: Um, because I decided it is? OT: No, because God is good, so He makes it a good day. Me: ... Once I gathered myself together and realized […]
