Bad Day

Posted in Rose Reasonings
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!

I always used to say I wanted to be a teacher, but after going through the public school system for most of my schooling, I knew I never would be. They've taken away all options for the teacher to regain control over the students. I knew I would never be able to do it. Congratulations for keeping at it! I'm glad I've made the decision to keep my two at home as well! Good for your for doing what most people can't or won't!
