Who do you turn to in your school when you are having a bad day?

Thankfully, I have a school of very caring teachers.  I could go to just about anyone of them to vent, ask for advice, or just to get my mind off of things.

The teacher across the hall from me the past two years and I are each other's shoulders. It just so happened that this past years she had my students from the year before (special ed classes often travel from grade to grade intact in NYC) so I was usually able to help her a bit with ideas. Actuallty, our whole special ed department is very tight and we are all each other's shoulders from time to time.

Me too... but usually I don't. I handle things my own way. I wait until I am in my car, on the freeway, windows up, then I scream.

Thankfully I have friends who are teachers, both within and without my school, who I can turn to to vent, cry, yell, and get advice from.

And we have each other here on The Apple, of course.

Now I am sure I am weird. I've always screamed with the windows up!!! Too pre-occupied to put them down i guess.

Keeping them up hurts your ears.

When a shoulder is not available:  Really REALLY loud music, with me singing.  If I'm in the car, the windows are down.

 I pray until I get home and share with my husband. I may discuss some things with my mentor teacher, but I try not to get too deep.

It's always good to share your issue(s) with someone "outside of the box."

When I have a problem I discuss it with a colleague who is reliable. If such colleague is not available, when I reach home I listen to music and sing or shout in the bathroom.
