Hey Toby! Glad you're enjoying it

I've got a 17 year old you can take off my hands! Really disruptive in class, lacks ability to concerntrate, been excluded from 2 secondary schools before our college accepted him, history of violence at 1st school, wont communicate unless he can swear in between every other word, stinks of cannabis at the start of lessons (thinks I'm too old and straight to be able to tell
!) etc etc. Going to try my hardest to get throughto him. If I can't I'll be seeking your advice!9/9/08 15:40

well I've done my second day and I'm really enjoying it. the kids are some of the most challenging lads I've ever met in my life....but I seem to be making progress with them the centre is for secondary excluded kids, I'm sure you can probably guess what these lads have been excluded for??? You name it and I'll find you a kid that's done it!!! :0 but really they are just mixed up kids who need time attention and positive discipline. I got three of them today reading out loud in a group and by the end of the lesson they were all helping each other and actually wanted to carry on the story instead of going to PE...I would love to stay there!!
but DP not pleased he read the reports on my kids and cos they all of have a history of violence and aggression he's really worried about me working at the centre incase one of them attacks me! I'm only 5" 1' and really petite 8 and 1/2 stone, but I can handle myself with kids.....thing is Dp has said he won't try for a baby whilst I working there he says it's too high risk...thing is I have already ov and we dtd so there is a possibility I could already be pg obviously a chance I'm not. you know the drill I'm waiting until the 22nd to test...The assignment could last another 2-3 weeks, he's calmed down a bit about now but last night he steaming.......the money at the moment is really good so I need to keep working there for the rest of this week and next week. but they may offer me more what should i do?7/9/08 21:23
Braver woman than me, I couldn't work with kids, love them but couldn't work with them!
Good luck hunny!
Good luck both of you for tomorrow !

well after having 7 weeks holiday I start my new job tomorrow and I'm scared....worked at the same place for six years before Ieft in July. Just hope it's going to be okay. Got to get up at 5.30 am what a culture shock that's going to be.....
















Hi rose,
i am glad you are enjoying it but I can understand why your husband is concerned. I have always said the baby is more important than any job but that's me... You need to discuss it together and see what you want to do. I am sure there will be other jobs that come up with less "risk"...it's a tough one..
