This week really has been just..goofy. In the work department, I mean.
So kid #1. lets call him..Mick
comes into my room on tuesday, throws his chair around, throws his cd player, writes various expletives on my board, manages to invent words in my magnetic poetry set on my filing cabinet that belong in the perverted version..and i have the original. leaves my classroom, wont come back in, cusses the entire class (including me) out, then gets upset and blames me for writing him up.
On the upside, he did stay for detention for being late without me asking.
kid #2..i cant think of a name for..
comes into class after being out of school in psych care. when reminded he needs to go get his make up work for other classes, tries to convince someone else to do the work for him. tells me he cant be in art anymore, “cause its ew.” i tell him its too late to change classes because he doesnt like them, and send him off.
next day, the nurse comes to talk to me. He has been down there three times.
1) tummyache, wants to go home. no, sends him back to class.
2) his whole body hurts and he wants to go home. no, gets a tylanol, sends him back to class.
3) still not feeling good, wants to go home. no, back to class!
keep in mind, here, that he doesnt have a fever, doesnt LOOK sick, nothing.
I congratulate nurse on avoidance and go back to work. then, the phone rings. Hes down in the principals office..he doesnt feel good, wants to go home.
GAH!! send him home! of course, we found out that he was doing this because..guess what? “art class is ew.”
Kid #3 is just a little obsessive..
he was in my class without his sign interpreter, which i can usually handle. got the kid set up with some coloring sheets and colored pencils. but he keeps getting up to go next door to sharpen his pencils. one at a time. all of the pencils. so hes going back and forth and im not paying a lot of attention to it, cause i have kids doing job applications..then, the teacher next door comes over and asks what the heck he is doing. assuming she means the back and forth, i told her he was sharpening pencils.
all of a sudden, he comes back into my classroom..using the hall door (601 and i share a door between rooms)..and he is carrying a clock.
i check to see if my clock is still on the wall, as he has a habit of taking it down and removing the batteries, resetting it, etc..and my clock is still there.
uh oh.
its not the nurses..we just asked..its from the business department. he got up, went through the connecting door, out 601s hall door, cut across 2 computer labs and a classroom, entered the business classroom, CLIMBS UP ON THE TABLE, steals the clock and takes off.
IN FRONT OF THE ENTIRE CLASS
Sillyness. completely.
