It's amazing how many people are on medications for depression, anxiety, disorders etc. I sub for a special ed teacher on occasion, and I know how difficult it is to have the patience and skill to work with these students. There is a difference between main
stream students and special ed. I really admire your patience, and realize how important it is for you to be alert and remember EVERYTHING. As a parent, sometimes what you think is a very obviouse "topamax stupid" is something we parents don't notice, because we ourselves "have blank moments" just chalk that up to my age.<g> If parents are requesting that their children be placed in your class, then you are doing a great job. BELIEVE ME. I know about this, because I have been around it for years. The teacher I sub for is also a friend, and she shares some of the problems she has encountered at school. These parents can be difficult to work with, so you must be a gift to these kids. -L
