I made it through the entire six weeks without writing a referral. Without sending a kid to the office.
I have not been cussed at.
Students have not torn up equipment.
They don’t hit each other.
They haven’t written on the hall with black marker — and the kid that did that is even in my class.
They actually do the assignments I give them.
What a difference a year makes.
Oh, and I got to tell my principal “I told you so”. He and I were working on a project during summer school and I told him that I knew we were going to be a “Recognized” school again while he was principal. We got some news today that indicates that I might have been right.
PRETTY COOL STUFF!
P.S. for those of you who haven’t been paying attention … last year I was teaching remedial math instead of CS.
