Everything's Coming Up Roses

Bad Day
UGH! What a morning! I got called to substitue at the career center for high school students today. It was an electrical class. To start things off the room was freezing! I was wearing my coat and literally was still freezing. We couldn't figure out how to turn up the heat. Then the students (15 boys and 1 girl) were totally rude and disrespectful! I have subbed in bad and rude classes before and have handled it--but today was the last straw. They outright refused to do anything I told them to do. They were blatantly cheeting on the test the teacher left for them to take. Many of them just left the room at will--without even asking. At one point I sent one boy to the office to ask for assistance from the principal or vice-principal. He returned stating that they were busy and would come later. I now know that he never went to the office. the class insisted that they were allowed to behave this way, but I knew otherwise. I went to the office and got assistance from the principal and from the security team. They took over the class for the rest of the 2.5 hour period. I hate to admit that I couldn't handle it, but I couldn't--I don't know how these student's parents even handle them! Many of them were so incredibly rude--and they kept on bragging about how they had been arrested and were on probation. Days like these are when I am so glad that God has called me to HS my DC!
