code: theWebSocket;<\/a><\/p>\nAnd to illustrate what happens when blood sugar is out of control.<\/p>\n
A couple of years ago, right after being diagnosed with diabetes and
\nwith a blood sugar of over 400 … a teacher aide interrupted one of
\nmy classes. I politely asked her to leave, and when she continued to
\ninterrupt my class time by standing in front of the computer I was
\ndoing the demonstration on, I yelled at her to get out of my room.
\nProbably a bit strong of a reaction, and if my blood sugar had been
\nlower, I might have not yelled as quickly. Woman never DID budge.<\/p>\n
As a result, she complained to one of the administrators, and I
\nrefused to back down. Geez, it was MY classroom, I was teaching MY
\nclass, and she was interrupting. I ended up discussing it with the
\nprincipal, and no one ever did acknowledge interrupting me put her in
\nthe wrong.<\/p>\n
To mollify everyone involved, I agreed to let her come up to my
\nclassroom, introduce her to my students, and apologize to her in front
\nof them. She wouldn’t accept anything less.<\/p>\n
My students were appalled! I told them what was happening the day before she came.
\nAnd after she left, I let them know that while the witnesses agreed she was in the wrong, third parties had determined that I needed to apologize and it wasn’t a big deal for me. I truly
\nshouldn’t have yelled, even if she wasn’t listening.<\/p>\n
Good things came of it. My students learned that apologizing for
\nmisbehavior — justified or not — is not that big of a deal, and the
\naide and I are at least cordial, and she sees things my way now.<\/p>\n
She also hasn’t interrupted a class of mine since.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
