What a week! I think I'm going to be saying that for awhile now. This school year has started off with a bang...a big bang! My new student with problem behaviors is preventing us from getting the amount of work done that we normally would get done. He disrupts lessons with his lack of willingness to follow teacher directions and do the work required. He has sat in the office at least two days this week, because he was so disruptive in either my or his homeroom teacher's class. We can't teach when he gets that way. This is beginning to put a huge strain on his homeroom teacher.
Yesterday, she became really upset with me and the principal, accusing us of conspiring against her in a matter. Nothing could be further from the truth! This really hurt my feelings, because she is also my friend. I am rarely in tears over an incident at school, but I was yesterday. When a teacher you trust and admire accuses you of conspiring against her, it hurts. However, I knew she was stressed and determined not to let this get between us. We talked about it and the day ended well. She is still my friend and fellow partner in crime to work with this student.
I am tired! Today is rainy...a good day to relax with a book. Monday will be here soon enough. Time to do a little recharging.
