A new week

I so need to recover from today.

The 7th Grade was fine, we did an amazing lesson about the constitution and the 3 branches which we are continuing tomorrow. Gave them a huge amount of
HW though he he. We'll see how that goes tomorrow.

6th Grade was a bit shaky because the usual two were at it again. *sigh*. But got through the lessons that I had planned.

The 8th Grade was just horrible. Only have 5 kids wanting to learn to taught to them. The Menahel came in at the end of the day and was wondering why a kid had been being picked upon and that why isn't there more homework and that discipline needs to be enforced.

*growls*

Okay, for those of you who are not in a classroom, the teacher is not in charge of administration issues. I have tried to deal with these kids inside the classroom with absolutely no success. Despite what people may believe a teacher cannot control a child if they do not wish to learn or know how to behave during a lesson. Especially when I only have them for one hour. It is an administration issue. The Menahel needs to pull them out, yell, scream, have parents come down, suspend, or even finally throw out a couple of them because they have been major issues since almost the beginning of the year. I truly dont see how, if most of the teachers are complaining about certain children, that they are not doing well with their work, that nothing is happening with them.

Of course the school has been having a lot of issues because the Menahel couldn't get himself or the school organized back in June but suddenly tried to get things working one week before school opened.

I'm just really annoyed with today and will be even more annoyed for later because tomorrow have to deal with the same thing with the Menahel since I just know he's going to try and follow up.
