Today has not been going well. I have had to send four students to the office this morning and just been dealing with the entire class being belligerent, obnoxious and, generally, unpleasant. It isn’t even the lunch break yet.
In addition, the custodian left a note, on the board, taking the class to task for the rather ramshackle state the classroom with left in last night.
I am not sure how much more of this I can take.
Our door decoration for the holiday decorating contest was also pulled down by someone, so that’s something. I don’t know.
John Taylor Gatto was named New York City Teacher of the Year in 1989, 1990, and 1991, and New York State Teacher of the Year in 1991. He later came out against compulsory schooling and supported unschooling. You may find him interesting if you aren't already familiar with him.
