1.28.13 - things you don't expect when you wake up

Start with 3 things.
Getting through polynomials all right.
Um. Had some nice teacher discussion.
Got through double digit multiplication with my kid today.

Yep.
My big wonder for today was, do other teachers wake up thinking everything is going to be ok, and then a student totally sidelines them with a personal problem. I don't care to go into specifics but the problem she has, is a repeat of another problem. Dude. It is one of those things that make you wish they'd not come to you with problems cos you just don't know how to tell them they're stupid.
My other problem didnt show up today and he's just prolonging the eventually meeting with the principal. It was nice to not have to deal with him.
Last but not least, last week we had super drama (thank goodness not in my class) and so the student involved withdrew today. I hope that student does ok in a bigger school, but I have a feeling she's in for a rude awakening.
It was a long day so I'm so happy to be home. Test scores are slowly getting better, even though I'm not offering as many points back. If only my kids' confidence would go up as well.
Time for bed. Needed to write. Lots on my mind but not ready to go there. Lates.
