What when Mr. Chips was a trifle under the weather? :rofl:

beckiwoo - sorry, didn't mean to be having a go at you - reading my post back I can see how it came across!! Sorry about that.

My mom is an EA in a primary school, and I can tell you she gets treated like dity by the students. Most of the teachers struggle to keep control of their classrooms. A supply is in? Forget it. The kids are ridiculous.

The kids have zero respect for authority, and even less when it's an EA or a substitute. I remember from being in school that we weren't exactly easy-going with subs, but there was never any outright disrespect, perhaps just a bit more difficult. But from what mom tells me about today's kids... it's pretty terrible.

So I was just venting - sorry about that. :(

I got a letter in the mail Monday that opens up new avenues for me school wise.

Last year at about this time, the doctor I was seeing submitted an application for me to be classified as PWD with the ministry of social development and social innovation and I honestly had forgotten about it, the letter say's I was approved effective May 1.

Having this classification will open up new avenues not previously available, and might make going back to school more of a reality then it was before.
