Emily, you've got excellent teachers giving you great advice. All I can say from a parental perspective is that one of my harder, and most necessary, lessons was that kids (a) desperately need to know somebody is setting the boundaries and; (b) grow by testing those boundaries constantly.
Which is why my whole three-pronged parenting philosphy boils down to the intuitive (1) keep them alive; (2) love them a lot; and [perhaps counter-intuitively] (3) enforce boundaries.
It's the hardest fucking thing but respect flows from it.

It's this thing where you think you know what you want to say and then your fingers are suddenly acting like ice-skating monkeys and then you can't even remember what you were going to type even if you could get the letters to appear on the screen in a reasonably accurate order.
It's like that.
Or like being really, really unpleasantly stoned.

Slainté, teachers!
Exactly like that, or getting hit in the head with a large gold brick wrapped in a lemon skin.

Are you saying that ended with the end of school?

We have to see that! Monkeys on skates! They're so irrational!
Emily, after re-reading I see clearly that I have erred on the side of Be a Dominating Teacher when you needed more It Takes A Year To Make a Classroom.
Which is true. It's an evolving relationship. With several different classes.
Also? You can come over here and watch videos and let us feed you potent alcoholic drinks anytime. You can bring AcrossTheHall Teacher if you like, too.
