Here is an update on the situation with the student who cursed me out. And I want to get one thing straight first because I do not think I stressed it earlier. I know my role her at Lee, and it is not to be friend. Yes, it is true that I am friends with some of the after school kids, but as soon as they walk into the door to my classroom they know where they stand. It is a line I have clearly drawn for them. They think I am mean and I like it that way.
This morning I could not have asked for a better first period. The kid who cursed me out participated in every aspect of the class and he did not have any rude comments at all, to anyone! But of course I wrote him a referral from yesterday. He needs to know that he cannot treat people that way. They say a good teacher does not write people up. But in this incident, I know it was needed.
I was so impressed with the class today and I let them know that. They do not get enough positive reinforcement, but it goes such a long way!
