I escorted a girl to the principal's office today.
I actually had a student tell me today, "Mrs. Reese, this is hard, and not even cool, or fun" to which I responded, "You're looking at me like I should care that you think this is not cool or fun...turn around and do your assignment."
I really wanted to give both of these kids a good, hard slap across the face, but I didn't.
A lot of the time, I love my job.
Today, not really one of those days, I'm not going to lie.
I am so sick of hearing kids whine, and complain about situations they have created for themselves after slacking off the entire year. "I'm not going to graduate!" Really? I find that shocking since you stopped coming to my class half way through third term.
Today was one of those days where I think, "Do I really want to do this again next year?"
It's a good thing summer vacation is almost here, because I am reaching the edge of my sanity.
Somehow I can't see cute little Katie wanting to "slap" anyone.
ReplyDeleteI am tired of the whining too...only I live with them.
Sanity?
I lost mine years ago.
Wanna be my roommate in the padded cell?
Have you read my last post?
I clearly state that I am moments away from a straight jacket!
Hang in there!
Yeah. This being my second year, and it is a re-run from last year, it comes with the last-few-weeks-of-school territory! The kids are bursting at the seams, and their lack of preparation is your emergency! I'm about ready to die myself :D
ReplyDeleteAmen sister! We can make it! Just think... we don't have a single more full week this school year! Only 2 more 'A' days and good thing because my A-3 class just about made me lose it!
