Sometimes when things are rougher I think to myself that when we do make it through this (and yes we will!) there will be far more benefits on the other side than we can see frustration right now. Chances are, most of the issues that are "issues" for us with our "tough to teach kids" are issues not only in school, but really, in their lives in general. School gives us one more avenue to influence them greatly in how we would like them to behave. And, I also keep in mind that most things that are really worth our time and energy (especially if they are tough) grow us the most. Hard to remember in the thick of things... but rewarding at the other end nonetheless. :001_smile:
You are so right:iagree: Thanks so much. It is easy to get tunnel vision.
