7:AM - Cruise in, put coffee on, bell rings, warm up starts on my Geometry class, roll is taken, slackers redirected for the 3rd or 4th time. One of them comes up and says, 'I need a notebbook.' I put out my hand in a typical gesture for that comment, and add 'quarter?' He gives me a "low five slap" (nothing majoron that), and swings his hand up past my face like a backhanded slap was going to be applied. I feel the wind in my eyelashes from it and automatically my brain jumps to hyper speed. No Way, he did not just do that? Listening to the remaining 35 students holding their breath in the silence that is dragging on, yep he musta..... mmmm can't hurt him, can't touch him for that matter. mmmmm He gets told in no uncertain terms to go sit down and I will not be helping him if he's going to do that. He rants rudely on the way to his seat and as he butt hits the plastic, he ends with 'you're such a bitch.'
The rest of the class has decided that nothing truly noteworthy will be happening without them missing it, so they go back to work. I tell this wonderful cherub to head off to LAD (on campus Suspension room) and the paperwork will follow. Head for the phone to tell LAD he's on his way, and start the refferral process. ...... Now this is the killer to all this..... ALL BEFORE 8AM on a MONDAY after a great 3 week holiday.
Gotta lesson scheduled for 3:30 on Kit, so this day will at least end nicely.
Paperwork gets shuffled, parent phone calls get made/returned, and by 6th security is really bugging me for an incident report on this... Wait, I'm teaching!!! So by 6th (MY AP Calc class) I promise to not do anything until the incident report is written and submitted. Calc kids love the excuse to work on their own (they catch up on their other 5 AP classes and have no math to do)...
Found out wednesday, he pissed somebody off similarily the next day and was suspended for 5 days and applied for Independent Study (I think working for his Dad for a while would be a great thing).
BTW the lesson went well, we worked on her separation anxiety and did some slow quarter turns on the hindend (Yeah finally!). I need to set up a lesson with Matt this month... E>)
