Well, I got my first "bad" call from the kids back at home. Now, the question is what did I do? They are not getting along with their new teacher and feeli like she is mean and confrontational.
I wonder to myself, what would happen if I told them to be horrible, not turn in their work, and argue with everything she says. I mean that is what happened to me after I took the job when she left three years ago.
I feel bad for the kids, but what am I supposed to do. Of course I took the high road. I told them to make a list of the things that are bothering them and then come up with some solutions that would be better in their minds. Then make sure that they take the high road always. I am sure there are some truths to what they are feeling about her, but I am also sure they are feeling ultra sensitive because she is new. These same things happened to me, but I also worked with the kids to make them feel better about what was happening.
I hope things work out for them all or else this is going to be a very long year.
