Ah, Kelly, the only thing, is the kids don't really know if you can see or not, smile. As my sixth graders did things, that well, they thought I saw but I didn't until i was told later, but I still stopped them, just by walking around the class and the like. I like Third grade and above, and really like teenagers believe it or not, which most TVIs don't want to touch with a ten foot pole, guess it is my stubborn streak or my personality, smile.

You should be proud of sticking to your plans through all the frustration and annoyance, not to mention the classes! <lol> I hope you enjoy teaching. I think you and the other would-be teachers on list are brave--I find small children terrifying! <lol> They're inherently predictable, and when they find out you're blind a lot of them try to get away with things, or do very mean things. I hope that won't be the case with your future students. Kellie -- No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
