Sounds like a fun time.

I am not a blogger. But, if I were I would want to go to the conference too.

I think if it were something I wanted to happen in the future I would forgo all the
little luxuries and, put the money in a special account labeled “Bloggers Conference.”

Then I would do all of the above you suggested accept at home and, in a pretty top
I already own. While not as fun immediately, the promise of next year’s conference
would keep me content. Now every time I felt the need to splurge I would forgo the
splurge and, add it to my blogger account. As the funds grew, so would my smile
as I thought about the fun to be had in the next conference.

Ok, don’t want to be a party pooper. Just what I thought I might do to be rockin
the conference next year.

It may not be the money that keeps you away but, it would be for me.

I hope you make next year’s conference.

Another option for keeping your child safe and having knowledge of what takes place each day is to go in and observe, frequently, and randomly. Have it written up in his IEP when the time comes.

The way you talk about relationships with students, I feel that you will have a relationship with your son’s teachers weeks if not months before he even joins the class. You will be working with them to help your son so you will have a good idea about their character prior to him setting foot in the classroom. You will know as a teacher what category they fit into: they do it because they love the kids or they are just collecting a pay check.
And you can react accordingly at that time.

I have no doubt that your son will be given the best there is out there because you will be there to make sure it happens.

You are right to be worried ( not to the point of sabbotaging yourself) but concerned and thoughtful about how all of this will shake out.

No one loves your child as much as you do, no matter what they may say.
