Today was both the best day and the worst day, and it all revolves around Johnny.
Johnny wasn't here today. Which made it honestly so much better of a day, behavior wise. I feel terrible saying that, but the kids were so much quieter and more on task. We actually got through our lessons, and it felt like a really successful day.
The reason Johnny wasn't here was because his parents were not at all happy with the note I sent home yesterday, which explained that Johnny needed to write me a letter of apology for his disruptive behavior. I really don't want to go into detail, but I spent my lunch break in a meeting with them, my principal, and our school counselor. I was absolutely blindsided by the meeting, and it wasn't the most fun. Thank God - seriously - for my school counselor and my principal who were incredibly supportive to me. Also thank God I didn't cry. Dealing with parents can often be the very worst/most difficult part of this job.
That's all I'm going to say because it's 6:21pm and I'm getting ready for bed. Yep.
Well, it's obviously your fault that their child is a hellion. :)
ReplyDeleteSo sorry, Kaela, that sounds awful! You are doing great, though, and way to not cry!
