I have to agree with Steve when it comes to worthless school days before a holiday. Kids lack any form of concentration and the administration does things that make no sense at all. With all ready shortened classes they have a school wide fire drill- thus shortening classes that much more. Plus, kids can't go outside during class and return with any form of concentration. What a complete waste of a day. They night as well not have class.
In addition to all this at lunch I had to listen to some teachers bash some kids because of their lack of concentration. It was to the point I heard a teacher say about a kid, "Bot you think you hate me, I hate him ten times worse." I've never heard this teacher talk like this so I'll chalk that one up to a bad day. I have been hearing things like this more and more through out my practicum. I've also seen behavior that I've never seen before. It's going to be hard to show patience when it comes to heariing some of things that comes out of some of the students mouths. It's a very few number and it's always the EBD kids. I guess I'll just have to learn through experience.

I'm glad that I'm not the only one who felt the same way about last Tuesday.
Brian I agree with you. But to be a devils advocate - if the day is already wasted because kids can't concentrate, they might as well do the fire drill then. That way it doesnt screw up another day. Plus, if they didn't have class, there would always be a "last day" before break. So really there is no good solution, they might as well drill the hell outta 'em.
