Day 12 – 8th Grade Social Studies
You know how I got to start this day? In homeroom, or whatever the equivalent is, one of the kids told another student that he was going to shoot her. And we’re close to downtown, where the previous week someone really had been shot. I swear, that had to be one of the dumbest things that kid could have said.
I’m not going to play around and think that someone is joking with that kind of thing. Especially downtown. He went to the principal’s office and when that class came back they were talking about this kid being suspended. Serves him right for being a little dumbass like that.
The rest of the day was pretty uneventful. Except for the one kid who thought that he could do whatever he wanted as long as he was super polite when he talked to me. Those kids are the worst. Being polite does not get your out of doing work or being quiet when I ask you to be quiet. Being super polite all the time just looks fake and annoys me to know no end.
Really, what can you do with kids like that? I can’t write them up because they’re being polite. I’m not going to hope that the office will see things my way, especially at a school I haven’t been to before. The most I can do is make them sit by themselves. Of course he argued about that, because he wasn’t allowed to sit where I told him to sit.
It was an empty desk with no one around it.
Because of today, when I’m in middle or high schools from now on I’m going to have the referrals out where I can grab them in less than 2 seconds.

“Being super polite all the time just looks fake and annoys me to know end.”
To know end?
Alright, sounds like you’re a bitter person. You made a polite kid sit by himself for being polite? Why? Because he was being quiet when you told him to? My god, you don’t know his motives.
I thought this blog would be an amusing/inspiring collection of stories and after reading this entry I’m convinced it’s just a bitter person bitching about his/her job. Nice.

First, I somehow missed that I used the wrong “no” in there. Thanks for that. Now onto the rest of it.
I did not ask someone who was doing what I told them to do to sit by themselves. I asked someone who would not stay in his seat and do his work. He used being super polite as a way to stay out of trouble. In a sense it worked, because he didn’t get a folder and sent out of the room.
