So today three of my students get caught with BB guns! I couldn't believe it! One of the them was my best student. Kids these days....what were they thinking. The worst part is that one of their friends told on them. Now a days you really can't trust anyone. When they got caught; they were crying their eyes out! Reality check; if it looks like a weapon, feels like a weapon, then its a weapon. They all know they shouldn't have it in school, but still they choose to do the wrong thing. My good student said that, if his mom hears about this, she will punish him by not feeding him! What kind of punishment is that??? Must be a way to save money or something, because I could never do something like that to my kids. One of my other students said that he gets punished with a belt. I have to now report all this. I can't have these things on my shoulders.

I just heard that one of my girl students from last year is bullying some of the new kids in her class; one of the things that she did that I thought was shocking is that she lifted one of the other girls and put them in the trash can. One of the other students had to help the poor girl out of the trash can; middle school kids are so mean to one another. The worst part is that parents support this kind of bad behavior and they think its funny! Parents have such a big influence on children, yet as a teacher I have such a hard time getting parents to open their eyes and realize what a huge part they have in my students lives.
