Oh my...

I am pretty sure that one of my students was drunk yesterday in class. What am I supposed to do when I think that? I have no idea.

Today I am almost positive I heard arrangements being made for a drug deal. Right out in the open for everyone to hear. I went and told the vice principal cause I have no idea what I am supposed to do in that situation.

Why are these kids who are 15 or 16 years old even involved in this??

I'm really here

Ok I know that I said I was going to try to do better at updating this blog and believe me, I have tried. I actually think about it a lot and think that I need to get on here and write but I just seem to never have time. I feel busy now.... what am I going to do when basketball starts?!

So lately I have been struggling with being grumpy with my students. Not all of my students though. It seems like if one of my classes is bad then my grumpyness lingers to all of the classes for the rest of the day. Or, if I have something going on in my personal life I am not the most patient teacher and I have a hard time dealing with kids doing things they aren't supposed to do. I feel bad when I am like this. I am taking things out on students that have done nothing wrong. I think my 6th period class thinks I am always grumpy or in a bad mood. I don't like this. I don't know what to do. Maybe now that I am more aware of it I won't do it as often. Sometimes I just get so tired of repeating myself and telling the same kids the same things every stinkin day. I have had to send more kids out in the hall this year than I did last year for bad behavior, bad language, yelling at me, and things like that. I don't know if the kids are worse or I expect more. I think its a little of both.

Well, my lunch is pretty much over so I should get some things done before next period. Hopefully I get out of this funk soon.
