    Default Excited!

    I was turned down for a 'communicating with parents' course a while ago...

    I've just had a call to say there's been a cancellation!

    It's only in the next town so not far to travel either!

    I have problems with a couple of parents just now so I think it will be useful.

    Looking forward to Saturday now!

    Hope you enjoy the course Sarah.
    Do you think there will be units such as

    Using a megaphone to get your point accross

    How to use profanities effectivly

    Hitting parents over their head - is it always wrong ?

    they are great units.

    How about adding in one -
    making parents realise that their child isn't an angel


    Thats great news Sarah - hope you enjoy the course.

    It's in Northwich at the Memorial hall on Saturday... I'm hoping they cover...

    'best ways to talk to parents who shout at you on the phone' and...

    'getting money from parents who tell you they can't afford to pay then buy new cars' and...

    'how to tell parents that their child probably has adhd with a smattering of autism without losing the contract'

    Oh that's great Sarah, I hope you enjoy the course and when you have finished you must come back and tell us all about it - we need all the tips we can get when dealing with the parents.

    I still don't know where you find the time - have you got some kind of magic spell that turns you into lots of Sarahs that can all go and do different things at the same time - oh please do share
