[senco-forum] the most useful thing in the SEN room

After a difficult and somewhat tearful IEP review today I realised how
invaluable my box of tissues is.  I've always bought tissues for my room and
always make sure I have a spare on hand.  Sooo useful (do others have
tearful parents/pupils/TAs in reviews or is it just my excellent 'bedside
manner that reduces them to tears?).

I would put in order:

1) tissue box - for tearful reviews/TAs
2) paper recycling bin - as alternative main filing cabinet
3) stapler - to keep all the thousands of bits of paper together
4) staples that fit the stapler - to go in 4 above, (why does every stapler
take a differnet size staple?)
5) post it notes - as wallpaper (of all the jobs I need to do)

So in a top ten list, what is the most useful/indispensible thing in your
room?
