Good Afternoon All!!! (11:08am 10-8-14)
I'm back for another exciting edition of doodle with my poodle via GBMS. So I'm still doing the para thing with this middle school, and still working with AN (affected needs) kiddos. And still feeling like my presence is not really needed here
In any case, this morning has definitely been one for the books. They just started off right at breakfast in the room. We had one little whitish-hispanic child curse out the teacher and call him a "bitch ass nigga!!" Since I'm black, my teacher is white, and the kid is a whitish-hispanic kinda child, I took a bunch of offense to this statement, but whatever--white is white, kids are kids, the world doesn't get it, let it go.
So I was pretty much on 20 (as my EYC peeps would say) and already ready for this day The teacher is yelling at this kid, our kids are super off task, and to top things off, the psychologist/social-worker lady (whatever) has the sister of this kiddo I had at my treatment center. I could just tell, these bitches (administrators/physiologist/social worker) just don't want to deal with kids today. See, whenever they have "problem" children, they usually just stick them in our room. Many times, that's ok, but when they are loading us up with them, it just becomes a zoo.
A zoo is what we were this morning. The kiddos were suppose to be finishing up a letter they had begun yesterday. However due to all the extra stimulants (extra kiddos), our room was a mess. It felt like I had questions from children coming at me during every second of the morning. And I knew the kids were feeding off each other; one would get up, and then another, and then another would ask a question! I have dealt with some very needy children, but seriously, these children were needy like treatment center girls around hygiene time.
At this point, I'm going to stop, because I don't feel it's being productive. I feel like I need to listen to Rudy Francisco's poem "Complainers"--"It doesn't matter if the glass is half empty or half full, there's water it in, just drink it and stop complainin'!!
12:47--Lunch--Principal having a parent meeting in the staff lunch/break room...not complaining, however I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL 3:59PM!!!!!
