Ok so this blog is just for venting. I am in the middle of my planning period of the day and I have a ton of things I "should" be doing but instead feel like I need to get some things off my chest. Today has been a challenge and I intend to face it head on and stay strong. Let me explain. My 1st period class is my roughest, behavior wise. So I got a new student a couple of weeks ago and he seemed quiet. Well this morning he let all of it out, on me. Who drops the f-bomb before 10am. He does apparently, and to his teachers. I wanted to cry. I felt the tears forming in my eyes, so I just sent him out of the class to another teacher. This is giving up and I hate to admit I did it but I had lost control of my clasroom and no student has ever used such words on me before. Come to find out that he has been arrested 5 times before for battery and is #1 on our list of the "bad kids". Help, what do I do. All the other teachers say write a referral. But what good does that really do other than him getting more angry with me. And on top of all this I had a girl help me out during my planning period yesterday and she was skipping the whole time. I don't think I will get in trouble for this but I could. I feel taken advange of.
Anyway with all of this said on a wonderful Wednesday I will take these obstacles as a chance to learn and grow. It is humbling and shows that I need some practice on the curve balls. If any of you have creative suggestions for how to handle the above situation let me know.
