I had to tell many students they only missed passing by one or two questions. Their disappointment was so sad.
We shed a lot of tears today.
I am exhausted, I mean physically exhausted from the emotional roller coaster.
There was a lot of discussion around classes. There was a group of boys in one class who failed and who are behavior issues, serious behavior issues. My aide heard them saying, "Man, its because I misbehave. I gotta start listening." Hmmm... did that just sink in to them?"
We still have 7 1/2 days left of school. It is going to be tough.
Thankfully we have a four day weekend ahead of us. I need to regroup. I need to get away from school and unwind. I need to hug my own children, play some ball with them and spend some money. Plus, I think a nap is in order!
That's horrible. Days like this stink and hopefully they can be a learning experience for all involved.
ReplyDeleteIf I were you I might start with a nap first.

Days like that are tough. I've had several days like that in the past. I'm happy I don't have to experience that this year. Enjoy your long weekend.
