Maybe take the focus away from your children and write more generally?

As far as I know there are no City Schools teachers posting even close to regularly anymore. I used to have about 5 I would check daily. There are autism parents who I read regularly, but a lot of the ones I used to read are gone. It feels like those friends you knew intimately in high school that you lose touch with. Very sad.<br /><br />I don't know. Maybe I'll start posting again, but I have a hard time with the title (and soul) of this blog. I'm not sure I or my kids are surviving the system. I feel scarred and bitter at the moment. So many teachers I know have given up on this system, but I feel more trapped. I also feel so little trust that I worry about saying anything meaningful. Words have a way of getting turned against you.A BCPSS Parenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06457102026135990514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1346348567155318699.post-37602230268436225222012-06-17T16:59:48.051-04:002012-06-17T16:59:48.051-04:00No guilt trip, just an observation.

But it's really hard to gamble your child's future on idealism. Ultimately you have to do what is best for your child.Stimeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09685801693683588805noreply@blogger.com
