While I don't know about your specific situation, often others act they way they do out of fear, jealously, feeling threatened or just a misunderstanding of the situation. While I'm sure you didn't do anything to arose those emotions, others may have manifested them themselves.<BR/><BR/>I know you are kind, giving man. As you said and show in all your do, you are about the kids. What a gift you are to them. May their sweet voices lift you up.<BR/><BR/>I frequently remind myself when things are challenging, you can't choose your family, neighbors, or co-workers, but you can choose your friends. How lucky you have a good friend to help you through tough times.jepckehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00792747961242964984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3848510409060781412.post-9115526315215839512008-10-09T20:30:00.000-05:002008-10-09T20:30:00.000-05:00Thanks, Diane.

They show me respect and I have an excellent program for a school our size.<BR/><BR/>The "others" never seem to get it. I can be very strict with rules and still be respected and by some, even loved. I am not treated with respect by the 'others.' I don't want special treatment, just fair.TJ Shayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00844822890304294358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3848510409060781412.post-19846230496561480082008-10-09T18:39:00.000-05:002008-10-09T18:39:00.000-05:00Terry,During my most challenging days - and someti...Terry,<BR/><BR/>During my most challenging days - and sometimes those high school boys can give me a run for my money! - I would hands down absolutely ALWAYS rather deal with students than administrators.<BR/><BR/>The kids at least give you a fair hearing, whether or not they agree with what you're saying. Sometimes they even back off and apologize.<BR/><BR/>Not so with the Others.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad that you were able to turn your gaze towards the star and navigate a true course.dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11292813474160548707noreply@blogger.com
