So, my kids may not like me anymore. For the past month or so, I haven’t gotten any respect. For real, my kids step all over me and I thought I had it under control, but I really deserve more. This is how they make me feel
Every threat I’ve ever made has been empty and I believe that my students are starting to catch on. So, today I made a final warning concerning cell phones and iPods—if I see them once more, I’m taking them and their parents can get it. I mean, that’s what other teachers do, so Ms. Baker is joining in. Also, I think I wrote 4 detentions in first period alone. I am NOT playing around anymore about talking. That’s all they do all period long (aka 85 minutes) and I’m super over it. I was very strict today and I told my students that their behavior caused it. I told them that if they improve their behavior, we can consider going back to being friendly and joking all the time, but it’s fine with me if we stay like this for my last 11 days.

I gave out progress reports today and I really wasn’t happy with 2nd period’s grades, and they weren’t either. They ALL (except 2) begged me for something to do to help their grades. And, being the super nice person I am, I came up with an assignment to replace a project that didn’t go exactly how I wanted it to. I think (hopeee) that they’ll all take it seriously so I can bring up some of their grades!
That’s really all for today! Yay J
