BBT7, It sounds to me like you are a wonderful teacher! You don't take a prep in order to be able to service all of your students, right? I know it may be difficult, but remember that if you burn yourself out that you won't be able to help the kids at all. You have to take care of yourself first. Now, I need to follow my own advice, too. I also have a student that is misplaced and that is a major stressor! I know exactly how you feel. Take care of yourself!
