Cranium Crunch-Rant

Fellow bloggers, I am very sorry that I write up a huge story about new fish and leave you be for 3 days! *sigh* Truth is I have been knee deep in alligators here at school. Can you believe the kiddos have been in school a full semester?? So next week, I will issue grades, have parent teacher confrences and Evals to reccommend "special needs" testing. (FYI that would be almost ALL of my 45 students).

I keep looking to the sky to see a full moon with the behaviors that I have dealt with in the last couple of weeks. First and last I expected would be from ANOTHER adult teacher! I had 2 new students enrolled that CAME to our school with the Special Education Individual Program SPED/IEP) with them. The SPED (Special Education Develpmental) coordinator of our school doesn't have an "A" game. In fact she is a waste of Title I money. IMHO. I observed her 1:1 time and saw her PLAYING A BOARD GAME with a 7th grader who is STRUGGLING to complete the AMENDED homework, let alone the accomidations being so far below him just so he will show "significant progress". I was livid. That is not the purpose of the story. SO back to my 2 newest enrollments. DAY 3, yesterday, I was called out of my class. I left instructions for the students who were listening to music and focused on the in class artwork project, as our regular teacher was out sick. On my return as I rounded the courner to see my lights being turned on an off, students standing on the chairs, dancing and cutting up. Who should I FIND CAUSING the issues?!?!? YEP My NEW student, along with a vetran student, standing on the chair, flipping the lights on and off. i walked in and remember my pic of the "deer in the headlights?" LOL ;o)

~looks around to see if candid camera or crew of Jackass is here~

I remove the two students WHOM are SOOOO getting suspended, and I call the SPED coordinator. I advise her that her student can not function and was caught standing on the CHAIR in my class, and that SHE needs to take him for 1:1. She tells me I should 1. be more patient and 2. that I need to have other assignments for him to work on. *AHEM* I need to WAIT patiently for the IEP and testing and I SHOULD be able to provide him something to keep him out of trouble??? ~looks around~ Bloggers I don't use the "C" word often, but when I do its for a DAMN good reason! SHE IS A C.U.N.T. There I said it. I feel sooooooo much better. THEN she takes her crappy attitude to the principal, bitching to him THAT SHE HAS TO DO HER FU*KING JOB!!!! The principle who didn't have the WHOLE story then reacts.

How does he react? He tells me that we don't have baby sitting services. I explained so calmly, that I think I had an out of body experience, that, I in NO way think of her or ANYONE in the front office as a "babysitter". The CHILD WAS STANDING ON HIS CHAIR! SO that makes me liable. That makes me the "bad" cop, NOW, the day before this student was STANDING on his chair I saw how seriously frustrated and out of his ability level this all the class work is. SO to try and AVOID the behavior issue. This is because I might as well have put Greek down and asked him to translate. SINCE, I asked for MORE info to accomodate him she was pissy. She demanded that "we need TIME to get the info." *ahem* remember in the begining, I mentioned that they enrolled with the IEP packet?!?!?!? MMMMM oh yeah!

~shakes head~

After that mess was wrapped up, I had a student "magically" get hit in the mouth and two other student declaring the "Not me ghost" responsible. This happened when switching classes so once again, I am called out of the class to DEAL with the "possible assult" *sigh* Can I get some VODKA?!?!?!?! XANEX?!?!?! SOMETHING?!?!?!

In other news: *giggles* Did you guys see that OJ is again in jail and now released??? What a joke. That pathological jackazz needs to seriously become someone's bia*ch in prison! LOL ;o)

OK I have vented, used the "C" word and managed to talk about "the juice" all in one entry...My life is almost complete!

Just kidding!
