The Kick

Most of the peeps did v. well with the guest teacher. One peep had a slight lapse of judgment when he suggested that she might want to suck part of his body. He got a few recess detentions for that. But before I even got a chance to talk to him, he had an altercation with a fellow bus rider that led to some hitting. More days in recess detention. I had a limited amount of patience with this small peep when he hauled off and kicked a fellow learner for no real reason except that the mere presence of the other kid seemed to be annoying him. Which can happen, I have no doubt. But then the peep wouldn't go to the office and someone had to come for him. Awkwardly, the security officer who came to escort him happened to be the dad of the kickee. Schoolsite can be full of uncomfortable moments like this. We all soldier on bravely. And tomorrow's always a new day.

If they based merit pay on teaching rather than test scores you would be a millionaire.

Thanx, D. I got a little down about the scores, but I'm pulling myself out of it. Looking forward to tonight...l
