Absolutely inexcusable for people to gossip in front of kids. In my mental condition I would have tracked the culprit down and had a long "discussion" with her.
Take care of yourself, YOU are what's important here.

The behavioral special Ed is what I do now. I know how hard it is lol.
That's what I'm worried about with general Ed. I remember being up until midnight grading projects multiple days in a row. I'm worried I won't be able to handle that much work. Especially if I'm in school too. I'm thinking of looking for an aide position instead, at least while I'm in school. I was a one to one aide for a special needs student for a year and it was the best job I ever had. Unfortunately the pay was terrible and I didn't get paid for days off, which was bad because of winter and spring break. A whole week without pay! I don't know if it would be different working for a district. I worked for a private company.
