Today was a rough day at school. Rougher than usual. My kids were agitated. Oh la la.
One girl completely freaked out when she dropped her pencil sharpener on the ground and it broke. It got so bad that I had to call her mom. She almost pulled the phone out of the wall…so that I wouldn’t be able to call her mom. She hung up the phone a few times, before I got through. As I reached her mom, this charming little thing was screaming “shut up!” aloud to the class.
I usually feel like I have control of my class. But not today. Today, near the end of the day, you may say there was a mini reveloution. The many seemed to take control of the one. The one being me.
Thankfully, there are not many days that feel this bad throughout the school year. But there are a few…this is probably the third so far. I hope that doesn’t mean there are 24 more days like today, in store for me this year.
