So, I'm into my second week at my new job and it all went to hell today. It's like the kids came to school and decided that they were going to be bad all at once. Especially in our class. I have definitely had my first 'real' day at school and I'm hoping that the rest of the week goes a little more smoothly. Today, a student pitched a fit TWICE and walked out of class and THEN got into a fight with another student during science. (He didn't start it, but he reacted and we had to break it up. I thought I was going to have a beaker hurled at my face at one point.) My goal is to remain calm and not to cry...man, do I ever need a drink.
I still really like it, though. I just have a lot to learn about how to "diffuse the situation."
