what is your point behind this statement? |

Caffeepot only uses his/her account to write on the forum board... He/she doesn�t contribute with wss... why is he disturbing here? Is it necessary to read his/her useless comments every day? |

In our school we have a staff member with �special needs � (as he defines himself). He is over 30 years old and over 2 meters tall. He on some levels functions as a 3 year old but on other levels he is brilliant - he remembers everyone �s birthday and phonenumber for example. He gets extremely upset if children don �t say hello to him in the morning and doesn �t understand the fact that if he sees them (at the other side of the playground) that doesn �t necessarily mean they see him.... He can be a real pain, eating every unguarded piece of food in the teachers � room ( I once walked in on him while he was drinking the maple syrup that was meant for the 2nd graders � pancakes..)and throwing a tantrum whenever he doesn �t understand the simplest request but the school wouldn �t be the same without him. The children learn to greet him and not be too afraid when he barges into a classroom to complain someone didn �t say goodmorning. If you attend our school, he is part of your life.
Somehow, that is how I see cauffeepot, not to be taken too seriously, a bit of a lost soul with not much going for him in life, not doing any real harm, a bit of a pain but kind of sweet in his endless need for attention. Our very own special needs member.... |

Homeless turtle, your abbreviation is absolutely appropriate for this situation, but you have to admit having this post was worth it to get Marion �s story. Marion, congrats on your choice of approach to this post! I believe many of us have recognised the situation, in the same or similar form, with some of our present or former colleagues ! |
