I am not a screamer. I am a yell-er. My class is very noisy and I have need of a strong voice to get their attention. They work in groups and forget that there are 34 students in the class. I do not put children down, or make them feel small in the classroom. Children are the reason I am here. I did not appreciate your advice because you are not here and walking in my shoes. I find it curious that you have advice for a student you do not have. This is 4th grade. Wetting your pants in 4th grade is NOT acceptable unless you have a medical problem. Regardless, my students are allowed to go to the bathroom as needed except when I am teaching or testing. When it becomes a control issue, then we have a problem.

I am a wild, whacky, weird, wonderful woman and teacher. I am venturing into a previous life by teaching ELL this fall. I use to teach ESL years ago. I am excited, empowered, and employed. I love life.
