So I have this one kid in my class that is driving me nuts!!!! He is always not doing his work and driving me up the wall. He distracts everyone in the class and thinks he is a gifted basketball player. He hits and pushes all the kids and thinks that it is okay. I have sent this kid out like a hundred times and nothing seems to happen. I remember when I was going to school how scared we were to go to the office or how scary it was to go to the Deans office. Students at my school think it is a joke to go to the office. I wonder if it has to do with the staff here or if it is the same everywhere else... I can't stand that the students think that they can do what ever they want and their is no consequence. I think times have changed and the students now a days need more of a structure, and I can't do it all by myself. There really needs to be a more school wide support and rules. Every teacher than can follow them and we wont have all this drama. I feel like so much is expected from teachers and we have to wear all these hats and take upon all the responsibilities, but what about the rest. Then when the kids aren't successful then the teachers get blamed! People out there don't realize the stress that we all go through daily. Everyone I talk to thinks teaching is so great! "We get all this vacation time." Now I know exactly why we get all this time off: If you didn't get all this time off you would go to the nut house!!!!! By the time it comes time to go on vacation, you are completely fried!!! I mean TOAST!!!
