    I would rather loose a shrink than a teacher.

    Expand the mind...herb is very good for that:hat:

    Sorry to hear you are having trouble at work Lynsey. Maybe the person you are having trouble with is jealous of you? Maybe they are just unhappy and it really doesn't have anything to do with you except when they see you jealousy sets in and that's the reason for the attitude?

    Hopefully it will get worked out so you don't have any bs to deal with at work. There's enough bs in this world.

    XOXO

    Is this about close-minded people or about a lady you dislike..? I guess I am confused here, you seem a bit closed-minded in this post when referring to teachers...

    I guess if someone doesn't treat me that great I don't automatically dislike them or make assumptions about them or why they are acting the way that they are...
    But I am just going by the information that you posted...Don't know your situation or anything of the like, just what you posted...

    Why continue on, why not take the high road and move on and not instigate stuff.... If I don't get along with someone, I sure as hell don't continue on putting myself in situations that can be avoided...The world is full of humans that we don't get along with, but we have a choice to either get over it ourselves and act like a mature human or to play kindergarten games...Be wise and not worry about it and be there to do the thing you are there to do...

    Again, take the higher road and just be there to do your job and not participate in middle school shenanigans...

    Good luck!

    This is awesome advice.

    I'm a sensitive person. Sometimes a person can give me an odd look and I'll think about it till I can't think anymore. I'm learning that sometimes it has nothing at all to do with me it's the person. I have to learn how to be okay with that. Not everything is about me.

    I want to get along with everybody but realize I am not going to.

    How's today going at work Lynsey? If this lady gives you any more trouble I think you should have an adult conversation with her and work it out. Be the bigger girl and show her maturity. You might really end up liking each other.

    Man I was pissed yesterday.
    It's not this teacher, it's the whole school distyrict. No wheel-chair ramps, teachers that could care less about kid with disabilities and haven't had proper training. Administrators that expect all kids to fit in this little box and if they don't fit they write them off. Bruises on kids from special day classes, that get reported, but never investigated.
    I need out of this place!
    I am sorry if I offended anyone. Most teachers are great people. I went to school to be one, and then realized that wasn't a path I could deal with-too many politics, not enough opportunity to express your voice. Just too rigid.

    This is great advice. I am going over to the school for a couple hours this morning, before I start my usual Wednesday.
    I am going to be gracious and TRY to be the bigger person. Although..this may be too hard because I am in a petty mood already.
    I took a different tactic. I am wearing my favorite outfit, killer grey suede wedges, more make-up than usual and this chunky turquoise necklace my mom gave me during my visit.
    I may not have tact, but I can at least look like I do :b

    Yes! That's the thing up here. The women are different. You know how socal women are. We like our disginer bags and almost everyone has a big rock to show off when they get married, if they don't it's because they are unmaterialistic and decide to sport something more earthy to express their green ways.
    I don't think people in the town I am going to today have seen a southern californian. I think I am their first and they don't know how to reaact.
    In addition, the whole town is mormon. I am not. I think that makes a huge difference to them. They like their own kind.

    In my school some of the kids could have us killed with a few words.

    I saw the teacher this mornign while I was walking down the hall and she looked and smiled and then realized who I was a got a shrewd look on her face.
    I smiled at her and winked and kept on walking. She looked pissed lol, but I felt breezy and calm :D

    My mom told me I should say to her the next time I see her "We are both adults and need to mantain kid's respect towards us. I would appreciate it if next time you talked to me in private as oppossed in front of my clients and your students. In addition please remember V*****e is very sensitive and feels attacked when you single her out in class, even if this is not your intention".
    HUGS
