The Eve of Halloween


I’m not sure if there was something strange in the air today, but it seemed that every student in each of my classes had eaten two bowls of sugar before they got to school. They were all extremely hyper and nobody wanted to listen today. In fact, I had to keep a student after class in order to discuss his attitude. This particular student has been giving me attitude for 3 days in a row about every little thing I say. When I tell him to do something, he sasses me and asks why he should complete my assignments. Well, today was the straw that broke the camel’s back. I had had enough of his attitude and I told him just that when he stayed after class. I asked him what his problem was and he certainly didn’t have an answer for that question! I told him that he needs to do what I say when I say it and without any attitude. I also told him that he needs to mind his own business because he is always so concerned with what other students are doing.

 

Having to discipline this student made me feel bad. I do not like being confrontational and I had to today. I didn’t want to be mean to him, but I had to get my point across that I’m not taking his attitude anymore. I simply don’t know what was with him today, but hopefully he’s over it come tomorrow.
