Life can be an uphill battle sometimes, especially in dealing with about 30% of these students and their behavioral issues.
I literally had to send a student to the Dean’s Office today for ripping up paper, throwing it on the floor, ripping up paper again and eating it, and lying straight to my face when I asked him about it. The whole class went dead silent as I got a hall monitor to escort him when he refused to go.
Oh well, just like life, teaching is a climb, and I hope to only get better with time. A student, a member of the top 20% of students I like, made me a paper flower today.
There’s always gonna be another mountain
I’m always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes I’m gonna have to lose
Ain’t about how fast I get there
Ain’t about what’s waitin’ on the other side
It’s the climb
