today though no one shit their pants and no one had a meltdown


there were still numerous fuck yous and other names called BUT not directed towards me -at least today=

however, one student in the other classroom looked up dick, penis, Johnson and tits during his computer time while he was supposed to be doing online math.

You are eminently qualified to serve as Chief of Staff in the White House. Same behavioral issues, except the pay is better and you don't have to start working until noon! Good luck!

with all of their issues

He's the one that has to be escorted to the restroom so he doesn't bother the others.

I refuse to deal with shitty pants on anyone older than 2

Positive Behavior Support.

The students that are on self-contained because of their behavior=yelling, screaming, cussing, throwing things, potential to get very physical, kids walking in to wrong bathrooms or when others are in there to pull on what ever sticks out. Kids that throw desks to avoid doing easy math activities like subtraction without a calculator. Throw chairs at adults because they are annoying when they are told to work.



Most are ADHD, some are Autistic, Some are Emotionally disturbed. One spent most of last year in an institution, several I am pretty sure have been abused or neglected. Two have tried to kill themselves in the past. They think they are "hard" but really they have their guards up with a tough outer shell.

He's the dwarf they don't talk about - Sleazy!

Also, this week we had parent teacher conferences. NONE of the families of my 6 sixlets even bothered to show up.



it was a very long day

My list would be equally impressive, albeit less dramatic. But all of it is accomplished between midnight and 4 am. I go home, sleep until around 10:00, and roll into work at 12-12:30. Then I work until ~4 AM the next morning. Seven days a week. (I've got at least 2 hours left before I head home - it may actually be an early night for me.)

Trump is lazy because he is lazy - NOT because he starts work at 12:30.

I'm sick of the prejudice against those of us whose body clocks on a different schedule. Late riser is not equal to stupid (saw that earlier today) or lazy (as this OP implies)

same hours

just different times

It's always phrased as if starting the day at noon is somehow sloth-like.

than the current occupant of the WH. My SO is a HS math teacher but taught all levels over the years.

Anyone who wants to denigrate or disrespect teachers has to come through me first.

for some reason right now we feel very hated

10 mile bike ride at 5am. Then off to work till 3pm.

Yeah, I want his job

physically and mentally


oh, I forgot-when I write IEPs it takes about 3 hours each. I write 20

By 9am I’m in work as I take my time in the morning doing my Yin Yoga and eating/getting ready since my son’s bus doesn’t come til about 9. I usually drop him off at 8:45 or so so he can hang and talk with friends at the stop

Then I’m in work and answering emails and today was onsite after lunch to work on safety systems for specials effects and lasers for something VERY exciting coming Dec 5

Still here now ... leaving by midnight at the latest

somedays when I leave, I feel like a failure but I have to keep remembering how bad it was the first couple of weeks.

this is a job not for the thin skinned or faint of heart
