I would love to t...Glad you enjoy my ramblings :) <br /><br />I would love to try that schedule but unfortunately, we are a small district and share many staff between 3 buildings, elem, middle and high school. That alone would make the schedule a logistical nightmare!! <br /><br />I know just the kids I see more than once a day can vary greatly in behavior and efforts from hour to hour. It is amazing....cossondrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06720044849447817480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684316.post-40875522661340892982010-01-30T22:10:05.619-05:002010-01-30T22:10:05.619-05:00Hi: I've been "lurking" on your blog...Hi: I've been "lurking" on your blog for quite a while... I also teach middle school math (6th and 7th grades this year). I can completely relate to what you are thinking in this post. I have been noticing the same thing. By 5th period (my last math class of the day), I am wiped out from the constant interactions, constant behavior interventions, constant reassurances, etc. I also wonder what it would be like to have the same group of kids but at a different time in the day. Would they be different? Would I be different with them? <br /><br />I say, propose the idea! Odds are, if you are feeling like it, someone else may be, also. A revolving schedule is more likely to be accepted, but perhaps not daily? Weekly? Come with all ideas and present them. But make sure you are fully awake with good reflexes when you do, just in case you need to dodge a few stones! :)<br /><br />Thanks for writing this wonderfully insightful blog.<br />-teacher from the Pacific NorthwestAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
