Reply #43: Teaching teens here (SpEd)

[Whoa_Nelly]

and my 9th grade Geography class is especially noisy and rude. Eight hours of talking sucks. If ringing a bell would help, would use it, but have too many immature teens that would probably steal it. On any given day have 3-5 kids who are in danger of or do get kicked out for bad behavior choices. Several of these kids are already in gangs, and am hoping with the repeated offenses, they will be removed to another school site that deals with the more hard core type kids. In fact, one of them, after several arrests on campus, was expelled this week.

Took one day off when I started the Amoxicillin because of needed quiet and rest for body, throat, head and soul.

Am drinking a lot of water, which helps some.


Sounds like you need more than a weekend of not talking to get better :hug:

Hope you can take some time off. I know I always hate to do that because every day off is two or more days of undoing the chaos from a sub teacher being present. Why do subs ignore explicit instructions, including where to put class materials when the day is done so I can pick up where things were left off? That makes me more grouchy than badly behaving kids :grr:
