Fantastic Teacher Retiring :(

Post Reply New Topic

Hello,

Our sons have been so lucky this year to have the world's best Special Ed teacher.

He has bent rules and done everything to help our boys.

The boys have gone from multiple meltdowns, frequent talk about wanting to die etc. Now they are happy and enjoy going to school.

On the last day of school (our school year runs January - December) he told us he is retiring.

We'll survive without him. We are lucky we had such a fantastic teacher when we needed him.

Wow... my son's special ed teacher is retiring this year too.

We're gonna have to do a "social story" I think.

change is so hard......

I've been thinking about this since I read it this morning Smelena (sorry if I typo any - the keyboard is being incredibly slow for some odd reason)

A good teacher will always be remembered, and whilst they cannot ever be replaced, they have set an example for those who step into the oft large shoes to takeover.
You have a benchmark for future SEN Teachers, you know what can be achieved with the right support - lots haven't even had that! You have coped admirably thus far, and whilst you may be in for a brief storm surge I am certain with you at the helm the replacement SEN will turn out wonderful for your two. Lets hope too much hard work isn't undone, and Good Luck!
