i dare say...

omg, i had one doozie of a day...a 5th grade. it's funny when i got the call two days ago to teach this class, i got a funny feeling in my stomach, kind of a warning. i thought oh im just being silly. well i am here to say, always follow your gut.
this class was unbelieveable, sassy, loud, uncooperative, busy bodies and by 3pm i had just about had enough.
individually these kids were great, fun to talk to and smart. but put them in a bunch and watch out!! one kid was slamming things, i know he would have never done that if his regular teacher was there. another kid was talking back to me as i was talking, being so rude and sassy that i couldnt believe it. i had to end the reading group early, b/c they were being so unbelievably rotten.
well, now i know, and i'll never take a job in that classroom again!!
