I had a parent get soooooooo mad at me because I wouldn't allow her to take two of her kid's friends home after a field trip. I explained to her that they had to ride back to school on the bus because that's what their parents signed on the permission slips. Then she got on her cell phone and called the parents. I refused to talk to them and repeated that the kids had to ride the bus. Needless to say, she took me off of her Christmas list.
Yeah, my face doesn't show it all, but I have a hard time hiding my basic emotions. It's hardest not to smile/crack up when a student does something HILARIOUS at the completely wrong time.
