A Week From You Know Where....
This week has been AWFUL to say the least. I don't think it could have been any worse.
Here's the rundown:
- Monday- IEP for my PROBLEM student and I have a stupid idiotic behavior plan created my a stupid psychologist and social worker who don't understand that I cannot spend all my time with this student. Mom, Principal, and I were all trying to stress and make him understand that he needs to be in a special school..but he wouldn't believe it. So I am now stuck doing this until heaven knows when..I also now have to reward him twice a day (with BIG prizes too!). THe other kids don't understand it and get really mad because he is still bad but gets a reward for it now!!!!!!!!!!! UGH
- I was supposed to have my evaluation on Wednesday and at the last minute my principal cancelled on me..
- Wednesday was also Grandparents day from 10-1 (TO LONG!!!!!!!!!!) and then they decided to have DIBELS meetings so I had to be gone and a sub had to do part of my grandparents day activities and it went terrible
- With the DIBELS results, I found out
that 80% of my kids are at the red/yellow portion on the RtI
graph...depressing. All the suggestions that I had for the
psychologists were met with "That's not what your kids need.." oh, I'm
sorry, since when did a psychologist , who is at our school 1 day a
week, know more about reading instruction then their teacher?!? I was
told that I am supposed to be researching new phonics curriculum
because ours isn't good enough. And I have nothing better to do.
- Thursday- Field trip from h***!!!!!!! My kids were atrocious. They were disrespectful and rude to others and me. I was mortified, especially when my problem child said a very vulgar word during a presentation to the presenter. The presenter I could tell thought I was the WORST teacher ever. I wanted to shrink down and die. After this day, 3 of my students are not going on our next field trip because they were so bad. They will sit in the office instead. I am actually looking forward to my next one now..
- I am seriously trying to figure out what I am doing wrong because I have consistent consequences for the students when they misbehave and always follow through with them. WHAT am I doing wrong??! WHy must they constantly misbehave and act like brats?!
- Friday- My principal decided to have my evaluation today when I had nothing "cute/good" planned. It went terribly of course because my kids are evil. I don't want to know what he is going to say about it. He left 20 minutes into the writing lesson. I seriously don't care though. I am so frusterated with it!!
Ok enough venting now! Seriously though, a week from you know where!! I'm exhausted !!! Thanks for listening! I love 3 day weekends!!!!!!!!!!!!
