Too Busy

One of our seniors was vaping drugs on the dance floor at Prom and had a bad trip. He called his Dad who showed up ready to take on anyone and everyone. Prom ended early. Too bad for the other kids who did nothing wrong. Student was "suspended" for the remainder of the year (about 3 weeks) and had grades adjusted based on his last work submitted. Didn't take exams. Got to walk and get his diploma at Commencement. Awesome.

My principal asked to meet with me this morning (happy fu*^ing Monday!). He proceeded to lecture me about my tone with my students. He basically said if my students act up, it’s my fault because I haven’t set the expectations (It’s 5th Grade, i have set the expectations and they have been set since kindergarten!) If they are being disrespectful, it is my fault because I am disrespectful. He said I should teach more like Mary Poppins! And just sing and laugh it off! He then told me he just watched Mary Poppins Returns and noticed how she sang and was magical yet very stern with the kids and they listened! Ummm....hello! Someone should tell him it’s a movie! It’s. Not. Real. But here is me teaching like Mary....
