I dont know her.
I know 60 yo ladies with enough energy and otherd who lack it and need medical support.
Maybe she cant start the order or teach a bunch of 5 yo kids, but can offer schooling counseling to home schooling parents.
I agree about your last statement.
Ps. Yes, Im for real and you dont need to be so rude.
Actually, I do teach a bunch of 5-8 year old kids. Most are 6 or will turn 6 before Jan. 1. I just received my class list of 16 mainly special needs/foreign students. I teach a combination and inclusion spec. ed/ESL first grade in a non-sectarian Christian school in New York City. I wrote a bit about it on this and a few other threads. We are one of very few non-publicly funded religious schools that accepts special needs students.
I find it very difficult due to health issues, so I’d appreciate all the prayer I can get! The way I manage is to pare away as many non-essentials from my life as possible. If I were married with kids and a husband at home, there’s no way I could do this job. During the school week, I rent a semi-furnished room with bath in a private condo two miles from school. I eat breakfast at work, usually a protein smoothie. I’m too busy and tense to eat during the school day, also, I’m in direct charge of children all but 30 minutes from 7:45 - 3:45. The children cannot be left unattended and I have no assistance. Due to scheduling problems, my “break” is over by 10:45, usually earlier and it is often not possible to use a restroom, so not eating or drinking much makes sense. I do planning, correcting, prep work until about 5:45. If I have outside errands, I do them before going home. I’ve arranged with ReadiFresh to drop off meals for the week, and I have my place deep-cleaned every two weeks by a high school girl who lives in the building. On Fridays I leave school and go directly to my parents’ home 80 miles away. I bring my laundry and do it along with my parents’ laundry. My Mom or Dad have a plate ready for me when I get in about 8:30. On Saturdays I do spot cleaning, minor household repairs, and my parents’ shopping for the week. They have a cleaner who comes weekly, and does mending and other small errands as needed. On Sunday, I sleep in. Recently, I’ve been watching Mass on line and praying the Rosary with Mom who doesn’t go out much. She’s on a walker at home, but uses a wheelchair otherwise. My Dad still drives locally during the day and can walk well with a cane, although, like me, he prefers a walking staff! I drive back to school on Monday morning, leaving by 4:30 in good weather, 3:40ish if there’s snow.
Every school day except Friday, I shower as soon as I get home, eat supper, pray the Rosary, and try to be in bed, lights out by 9:00. If I don’t get lots of sleep, my health gives way and my teaching suffers. I don’t have much of a social life or time for recreation. I do a little walking twice a day as I need to park my car a number of blocks away. I have several exercise balls, tension cords, and weights for stretching. I should do some cardio, but swimming is about the only cardio activity I’m able to do and the Y hours don’t suit my schedule. In the summer I do get to swim at my parents’ clubhouse a few times a week. It’s all old folks doing physical therapy in the pool, so there’s no temptation issue. I usually fall asleep meditating, doing spiritual reading, praying for students, or listening to a sermon or conference on line. The other place I pray a lot is in my car commuting the 3+ hours to and from my parents’ house on Friday evening and Monday morning. And that’s pretty much it. Exhausting by day, but fulfilling when the children learn or make progress with language or behavior issues. Otherwise, it’s not too exciting. I just try to keep going because I’m too young to retire, not impaired enough to get SSD, and I can’t afford to quit or work part time. (If I work part time, I get no health insurance at all.)
