I usually do it for the montessori clients and for old clients. I have told my new clients that I would not do it because I have myself a 5 years old enrolled in KG and in different activities. It happened in the past (twice) that the teachers got carried away and forgot about me.!!!Alas;) <br />I am there as a teacher to help with costumes etc. and to present a "french" thingie... I don't charge for extra time to " practice" nor for the day of the Xmas party but to be forgotten is a bit hard to swallow. This year I got lucky in a sense. I missed the 2 montessori parties because Manon was sick and I was glad to stay home. Don't get me wrong as a teacher I love to see the kids in their play but I can't bare to waste time and (money) to rehearse many many times. Maybe I should charge them for my time next year but I don't want to be too greedy either....GGfrenchteacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05716202160724117278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5055098504138674669.post-20195717526269273992011-02-23T21:24:40.621+09:002011-02-23T21:24:40.621+09:00That sounds pretty intense!

As a Japanese, I could exactly imagine how the situation is like.<br /><br />I was/am in the same situation in the local community meeting, farmer's association meeting...nobody is ready to decide anything and I mainly use my time for meditating during the MTG.<br />Good that I have it only once a month or so.<br /><br />Good luck!Now a month to go over this craziness.Yasuyohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08076699558927549550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5055098504138674669.post-65910605638385953642011-02-23T09:27:59.809+09:002011-02-23T09:27:59.809+09:00oooooohhhh I feel your pain!!

Here the kids/ teachers make them in kinder hours with plastic bags, tape and textas. <br /><br />The meetings absolutely drive me crazy though. When I was rep last year I cancelled all meetings and sent each kid home with a stencil, materials and a page of instructions. I got about four "thank you for saving all our time!s" and seven or eight "ohhh, how disappointing we missed out on spending time together...."s. Agghhhh!! Power to you and a pint come Saturday!shinshu lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06687535978619731812noreply@blogger.com
