ll after doing some serious thinking and talking, I spoke with the school psy. about my problem student. He and I talked for about 30 minutes to which I explained everything. At one point, I flat out asked if there was a chance that he would be placed in another school setting (which is what his mom wants since his brother is already there) because I cannot give him all the help that he needs, to which he replied "Well, you obviously are not very positive/hopeful." Well, genius with the doctoral degree, what kind of hint did I, first year teacher who is in WELL over her head, GIVE YOU!? Of course I'm not hopeful!! I get no support whatsover from anyone at my school, why would I want him in my room!? I wanted to shake some sense into him.
After a long and pointless meeting, I know have to document each and every little thing that this student does using this form so he, the man with the power, knows what is going on. I really don't see how a solution for my problems is going to come from this but whatever. I am going to document EVERY SINGLE one of those darn problems that I have (about every 30 mins) if it kills me!!!! So next week when he comes I am going to hand him about 25 pages of papers and see what he says..I'm already looking forward to it!! lol 
Cute part about today, ok rather gross too, my students are all in an uproar at breakfast about something and one of the other teachers tells me I need to go down and talk to them so I did, and I hear them all saying, is it dead, where'd you get it and lo and behold , one of my little cherubs had brought in a bat's skull!!! It was gross!!!! I was like, uh, we don't bring stuff like that to school! He seemed to be clueless to why I was so repulsed by it and took it to the office! Oh the joys of kids! It was nice to have a bright part to my day!!!!
