Tell me, is it the same disciplining your students as it is with Maddie. Or do you do things differently?CaitReneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12373754705621788370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7159968478753471282.post-53815528355913406652009-10-07T11:22:49.302-04:002009-10-07T11:22:49.302-04:00Amen.

(Although I Could. Not. Stand. when Mom said that, nails on a chalkboard.) I found out last year that I apparently have a "strict teacher" persona at school, and DAMN do I love it.
