Is TAKS really that stressful?

So far today, I’ve had three special ed students part out on me, and a fourth just be more snarkie than usual.

I have 12th grade PAWS, didn’t know what we were doing with them –and they told us at the last minute — but I knew they were to be doing SOMETHING.

One of my special student there decided he had to be somewhere besides my room, and got very upset when I wouldn’t let him.  He broke my first rule — talking during announcements.  My second rule is that I never ever let anyone go anywhere until announcements are done.  Thus I didn’t hear them at at all.  He said "Can I", and I said, "No, " Sit down" which I know know means stand up and argue with me. 

My really special student came complete unglued when I asked him to write his first flowchart with Raptor.

Then another one went off on me over something that happened over a week ago, but I haven’t seen her since she’s been in ISS.  Sent her to her counselor.
