Today was not the day I wanted it to be. It was supposed to be a half day, but the meeting I was supposed to go to this afternoon, which was going to be unpleasant but at least would mean I got to leave work early, got cancelled. Which meant that I didn’t get to leave work at eleven and not have much of anything to do until one. Instead, I got to sort of be the principal today– today was so busy that even though both of them were in the building I still spent most of the day’s energy dealing with nonsense from kids.
I really, really do not like dealing with discipline, guys. It is my least favorite thing– well, second least, behind trying to get ahold of parents, which is its own rant, but having to get ahold of parents comes with the discipline issues, and frequently the parents of the worst behavior problems are also the parents I least want to deal with. One of them came in and tried to jump my ass today when all I did was call her and notify her that her kid had fucked up. I don’t know the details, lady, I’m just reading this form, and showing your ass with me isn’t going to do you any damn good. I do know why your kid’s such a dick now, though.
Blech. Now I’m at OtherJob and it’s raining and cold and I probably ought to stay for at least another hour and a half. With a little luck I’ll manage to clear my head enough to get back to Benevolence Archives 8. We’ll see.

They’re the parents who wonder why their kids have behaviour problems. 🙄

As a former teacher myself, I really appreciate your rants. Besides, I like the way you write them!
