I have been so nice and patient with this student, knowing she has issues at home. Last thursday in practicum I had her snidely say, "Look who has a staring problem". She said that to my face. I about lost it. I was like, "I work too hard for some snot nosed punk...". Then in my head I remained calm and decided against going off on her, and my teacher took her to the principal. She has been a problem all year and it's so ridiculus. I would've been beat by my parents if I would've said that. I never would of dreamed of saying that. What do you do with out of control kids? I can not ground her, I can't send her to bed without dinner, I can not use corporal punishment, detention is not a deterrent, suspension is a reward for her, the principal is a joke for her...
Anyway, I am doing a review game tomorrow for my students. It took me forever to plan it out. I never realized how much behind the scenes work went into preparing students to take a test. I thought those would be the easy days for teachers, to just spout questions off and prepare a study guide for the kids. But its actually pretty involved...And I'm nervous about teaching it tomorrow. I had trouble naming my objective to cover in the lesson. And I'm really not teaching them anything, I'm reviewing information already taught. Trying to make a KTIP lesson for that is a challenge in itself. Now my main concern is classroom management. When I was a student I loved those days because we could get outta control. I hope these students don't, but for all I put teachers through I'd probably deserve it!
