I always try and go a bit easier on these children in my class. Surely they need some sunshine in their day?www.teachercreature.nethttp://www.teachercreature.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5937205822682397549.post-77828215262638546982010-01-07T18:00:55.223+00:002010-01-07T18:00:55.223+00:00I was one of those 'Little Loners'.

They are nice, bright kids but are quiet and seem to be painfully shy. I have to look away when I see them standing together on the periphery of the playground, eating their sandwiches and not even talking to each other. It gets me every time.Margaret Englishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11910776236752629334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5937205822682397549.post-16612320800530129482009-11-28T09:30:17.621+00:002009-11-28T09:30:17.621+00:00As someone who was always on the fringe as a stude...As someone who was always on the fringe as a student, the opportunity as a teacher to counteract some of that awkwardness is something I am looking forward to immensely.Alyciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16666161613842898612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5937205822682397549.post-49602863493380962042009-10-30T03:22:42.425+00:002009-10-30T03:22:42.425+00:00Hi Ranting Teacher,

My name is Lisa, and I work with the website ZooCaro.<br /><br />I just came across your site and am very interested in exchanging links. As you know, reciprocal linking benefits both of us by raising our search rankings and generating more traffic to both of our sites. I am trying to help spread the word about our new College-Site.com site, which helps college grads find jobs. Please post a link to my Job Search site as follows:<br /><br />Title: College-Site.com<br />URL: http://www.college-site.com/<br />Description: Helping College students and graduates connect with potential employers!<br /><br />Once you've posted the link, let me know the URL of the page that it's on, and I will post it on our site.You can reply to me at izoocaro@gmail.com<br /><br />Thank you very much,<br /><br />LisaUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15330012268983696867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5937205822682397549.post-57364586635566283752009-10-15T22:09:11.709+01:002009-10-15T22:09:11.709+01:00You're so right.

But there is great power in the smile, I believe, even if it's only temporary relief from all their problems.Ranting Teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15511994675532378693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5937205822682397549.post-49194474597723831862009-10-15T16:33:32.696+01:002009-10-15T16:33:32.696+01:00One of the things I do like about teaching is that...One of the things I do like about teaching is that you can help to change the lives of many kids. One of the things I hate about it is that you can't help them all, and sometimes you know they're suffering and you can do nothing. Such a shame.Fran Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07935088780461825341noreply@blogger.com
