NATIONAL SCHOOL PSYCHOLOGIST AWARENESS WEEK!!!

*party blowers go off, a few balloons fall from ceiling*

Just like last year, I totally spaced it out until today, Friday. I even had a reminder this year from Tracy, a reader who sent me virtual flowers.

On the heels of week in which I had Tuesday off and missed a whole day of seeing kids, I had an “advocate” at a meeting try to argue with me about whether or not I should be using the term “Dyslexia” or “Learning Disability,” misquoting the Educational Code in a rage,* tried to test a kid three times and he was absent, and all around derailment of plans, I really appreciated my V-flowers.

Now I realize this is BAD PR for School Psychology Awareness week to describe all the derailment, so go on and read a warm fuzzy post. There are days in which it’s all worth it. I promise.

The Little Engine that Could
