Teacher Observations

1. Pro-Tip: Email parents on a Friday afternoon if you can. It will either ruin the kids weekend or they won't remember it. You'll know if its a real issue if they respond on Monday morning. 

2. Bullying is a serious and complex issue in schools...BUT you know I like to keep it cute and these "victims" acting like they didn't do anything wrong and then crying for help...no child

3. The girl drama is at an all time high...ordering boudin and shrimp on someone else tab, money stolen, kids fighting, mamas sending threats through kids.....and some of these girls are elementary age!

February 6, 2019 1. A/C Update: The fan is busted. It is from 1995. I was in kindergarten. The district is trying to find the company and manufacturer to replace parts. They are currently diverting air from the other fan to our hallway. If that doesn't work we will be out of our classrooms for a week. 1a. The first time I'm glad my room has no windows. Luckily it will be cooler then freezing for the rest of the week. I hope it doesn't affect the heat...although I do enjoy a  good room temperature building instead of HELL degrees. 2. Two fights in the morning. One at breakfast. The other in 1st period. Who wakes up wanting to fight? 2a. I was luckily not a witness to either of these altercations. I would have kept on brand and not broken it up. Just screamed for help. 2b. It was boys fighting and it is easier to get them to stop than girls...I probably still wouldn't but it's the thought that counts right? 3. I love my nerd class. They let me play Blue ...

1. First of all...Happy Black History Month! 2. So a follow-up from my special guest visit was a handwritten note from the Superintendents Office. Personalized. Which is kinda cool and nice to be acknowledged in that manner. 3.No matter where you are there will come a day where...all the teachers take a day off and it is sub-city and all hell breaks loose. Today was one such day... 3a. I also had a sub...but I was on campus doing school business and baby...it was stupid. 4. Girl drama is the worst...still not messier than boys...but they will instigate the shit out of something! Screenshots, showing other people, confronting each other all the while pulling others into it, NOBODY having any self-esteem to MIND THEIR OWN BUSINESS rather than get pumped up by the hype women who would never fight a day in their lives.... 4a. Boys instigate just as much... 4b. Ok so fine no abstinence only but can we at least do some sexual harassment lessons. 4c. What kids do in middle sch...

1. Ya'll the A/C is out in my entire hallway. Texas is not experiencing the polar vertex and it is particularly balmy. Pray that we all make it during this trying time. 1a. I always tell the kids to tell their parents about these issues so they can complain. Do they? NOPE! But as soon as they take something out of context here comes mom with with all the emails and phone calls. 1b. Hell, I should get my mama to call! 2. My students have an odd issue with attention and personal space. When I was in school I left my teachers alone. Beyond the general curiosity, gossip and the fact that people lived next to my teachers, had siblings that could tell you stories AND we would go as groups to our teachers houses....anywho...I really didn't care enough but these kids? Parents love on your children! 2a. They have to say hi, every time you see them. If you tell them to leave you alone, the more they try to get in your space. 2b. You tell them not to touch you. They try to hug...
