i don’t like it!
yesterday, i had a 12 year old boy removed from my classroom after he rolled up his assignment and used it as a trumpet to call me a bitch. then i watched stonefaced while he sobbed in my classroom for an hour. (it’s very brave, you know, to call your teacher a bitch and then cry for an hour in her presence)
then i sent two boys shuffling shamefacedly home with a stack of failed tests to be signed by their parents.
and today i made my 14 year old native korean speakers slog through difficult university level english because i believe that just because they can, they should.
when did i stop getting yelled at for doing stupid shit and start yelling at kids for doing it? when did i become the grownup? WHAT THE HELL?
