never in my teaching career have i been so exhausted at the end of the day.
is it because i am running up and down stairs all day? to the auditorium, to the cafeteria, to recess, to a meeting, testing kids, to specials, on and on...
and i feel so helpless. helpless that someone says one thing about disciplining a kid and does another. how is this allowed to occur? what message are we sending these students?
when i am asked to make a judgement call by the Dean of Students if a kid is allowed to play soccer after school.
i say he is not allowed after he has threatened me and run away from the classroom for the second time this year. nevertheless, he is still allowed to play. When i asked the dean , he denied the whole thing. what message does this send to everyone in my class who heard and saw the dean asking me to make the judgment call...
is this why kids are not held accountable? when do they start taking the blame?
