Three things:
Got through monomials.
Kids I didn't think would volunteer, did today.
Had what seemed like a good "you got this" moment with a student.
Today was a bit of a reminder that administration has a lot of stuff to worry about and what I find to be important, might be a small ripple in the pond. This teaching thing, hard to know when to back off and let things be. What happened today was the principal stopped by and we talked about things going on. It was interesting to hear what his concerns were and helped kick me off my soapbox (at least for a day). Tough stuff to deal with and I'm glad to stay out of administration.
On another not fun note, things got awkward in one of my classes and at one point I was called a liar. It was just a weird situation and it seemed like the kid who was involved is having a weird year but still. There was no need for that. I try to play things straight with them so to be called a liar is not cool. Then there's all the times I've put up with his whining and lameness and then I have today. I'm sure I could have done something better and I'm sorry that I couldn't keep things under control better. When I spoke with the principal he had me document the situation and email him. Not the best but I guess we all have our weird days. I'm glad tomorrow is Friday and am focused on getting some rest and cleaning done this weekend. Need to walk away to rethink things and how to do better, if possible.
All right. Promised I'd head to bed not too late so I'm out. Lates
