Ugh - what a day! The kids were NUTS today! What are they thinking?! Picking at each other (just the ones who can dish it out but can't take it). Girl fight 2 doors down, well, almost. And there where 20 + standing around egging them on, with their phones out taking videos. . . . grrr.
Then there's the zero motivation crowd. Also driving me crazy. What the hell are THEY thinking!?! (No, I don't find your assignment. YOU go find your assignment. NO. You don't just watch you-tube video's because you don't have the piece of paper. You go get the piece of paper!!!! ) How old are you!!!!
And then there's the class I support, who were all doing independent work on their essays. What's the topic? no idea. What the assignment? no idea. Not just my guys, but everyone I asked. Finally I found a few kids out in the hall who actually knew what the assignment was, so I could repeat the info to those who cared to listen. Afraid to ask because she's told them 50 times? Or maybe they just don't care? And yet, if MOST of them don't know what the assignment is, and don't know where to look to get the instructions - teacher needs to adjust her communication skills!
I finished the day back in that same hallway, watching girl #1 lurking around looking for girl #2 to tangle with again. I glared at her and her friends until they left without incident. (Luckily! Because I was again the only teacher in that hallway this afternoon.)
Kevin is in California for the day. We girls are having Papa Johns Cheeseburger pizza. The pizza is . . . Weird.
Here's to a better day tomorrow!
