Have a Nice Fall!

Today in class, a student was being very disruptive, so disruptive that other students were asking him to be quiet. It escalated into a very ugly situation which ended in 8 detentions for him for each time he talked back to me. I thought it was over at that point.

I was on my way down his aisle to assist another student. That is when he stuck out his foot to trip me. I did trip but I did not come falling down or anything. I'm pretty sure that everyone in the class saw what happened because even though it was quiet due to testing, after that it was SILENT enough to hear a pin drop.

I guess the admin doesn't think tripping a teacher is a big deal. All they gave him was a day of in school suspension. By the way... it is his 2nd day back from the alternative school from previous behavior issues that have nothing to do with me. I am so close to done with him, I can hardly stand it.

Now, the good things about my day: Technology came over and set up my 2 student computers... another "finally." They decided there is no internet wiring for the computers except by my desk so they have to have another guy come out and fix that. They also sorta set up the document camera... even though it was already set up yesterday. Somehow they forgot about the spliter so another (yes, more "anothers") will come back with that as well.

Annnnnd... its Valentine's Day. I got 3 Valentine's from some of my favorite kiddos. Plus, the boyfriend is coming to see me so I think he has something planned.

Happy Valentine's to You! -coach b!
