Students Earn Their Stripes
Workday - 8:30am-5:30pm
One of my math classes is a lot more difficult to handle than the others. This is the class with all the gang members. It's not even that the guys themselves make the class so difficult. It's that the administrators want to keep them on a tight leash, and I'm made to monitor their every move. I have five students I have to make sure are in class, in class on time, are prepared for class, aren't wearing hats, don't leave for the "bathroom" too long, etc. Otherwise, I'm supposed to report them.
Well. The class just got a little easier.
Four of those five students are currently in jail.
I knew that yesterday afternoon some... commotion happened in the hallway... things escalated... and a bystander was injured (quite severely, it seems). I quietly wondered if any of my students were involved. And when the four students were absent from class today, I had a pretty good idea.
I assume they're gone for good. Although the school board has a funny way of letting people back in all the time. I just hope if that's the case they'll be transferred to other schools (though two of them only just arrived this semester as transfers from yet another school).
Oh well. Less marking. Yippee!

Sorry, but I couldn't help LOL at this post. It's pathetic, but funny at the same time.
