My continuing adventures as a paraeducator in the suburban school system. What the hell I witness going in the schools today.

A continuation of my thread/blog Adventures In Sub-teaching. What I see & experience in the classrooms, hallways & meeting rooms of a junior high school.

This is our future and your tax dollars at work...

= This is going to be interesting. Our teacher will be out until Thursday on the 6th grade camping trip. He is the only one the students fully respond to when it comes to rules & discipline 6 of the 7 students in our class stayed & couldn't go on the trip. So today we had a sub we've never met before come in and try to get invovled. Guess how that went with a class of emotional support students who are left behind, ha...

From jump they were clowning and acting up more than usual. One student who is normally quiet decided today is the day I come out of my shell and mouth off to teachers. Big mistake. My student got a little funny til I pulled him aside & told him the deal. This will be an interesting week to say the least.

= Thank goodness I spent half the day at the doctor's and we watched a movie with the rest of us 'leftovers' from the camping trip. Zion was pushing my nerves with his trash talk during the P.I.G. ball game (and yeah in part 'cause I was missing shots). I wrecked him Connect Four though, ha. But glad these days with the teacher out over, he needs to return and handle them 'cause they barely listen to us. We can finally go back earning our minimal pay sitting back and getting involved only when necessary. Hope he enjoyed his holiday away because they are all his Thursday & Friday while I'm out. Have fun.
