It was a sunny day here, but we are in a drought so any rain is welcome.
I have many papers to grade tonight, but I just don't feel like it. I teach English as a Second Language. We have been doing our end of year assessments. I think we assess these students so much, it's a little ridiculous. So all the ESL students schedules are whack this week, since their teachers are monitoring testing.
Today we actually had a substitute to help. Poor woman, I could tell she never worked in a city school before. She seemed to be experiencing culture shock. Then one of my students topped off her day by calling her a mother f---ing b---- just because he didn't want to do any work with her.
He is so lucky I was not around when he said it. I hauled his a-- to the principal, who promptly sent him home. I had to reassure the sub that it was not a personal attack. I hope today did not scare her away for good.
The really sad thing is, usually this boy is nice. He's a bit of a pain, and likes to cause disruptions, but he isn't mean.
Ok, I feel better now. ANd it is almost Friday, and payday
