The Teaching Machine is wondering about the mood of the school and the ‘hood in general. Last Thursday it was numerous suspensions in an upper grade. One child hit a substitute. He’s out until next week. We won’t miss him. Yesterday it was an early morning fight as the buses were unloading. ( upper grades) What a way to start the day. We’ve had the guidance counselor in the library several times in the past two days to help with sassy attitudes. Bless this woman! She is an angel.
Teachers were stressed last week because of the big Black History production. It turned out very well, but at what price? During the post-evaluation review meeting, angry words were shouted. My question is this…WWMLKD? (What would Martin Luther King DO?) I also have started to say “You Know …our president always wears a belt. He never lets his pants sag.”
You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink. (This is not politcally incorrect ot any type of slur. Please do not misconstrue the message or take it out of context.)
I have given up on snow day dreams. Is it Spring Break yet????
