The parent conference we had yesterday lasted forever. We get out of school at 3pm and I didn't leave the conference until 5:30. There were quite a few people there at the conference too. This particular student was institutionalized for a period of time, and upoon his release he was given a wide variety of services. He has a case manager from Desert Hills (the local child psychiatric center), who was present at the meeting. He also has a behavior management specialist, a BMS manager, a family reconstructive specialist, and a Youth Development Inc. case manager. Four of of his teachers were there, along with the Student Action Team manager. The principal was there, and the student's mother. This mother seems to believe her son walks on water. He is a huge behavior problem for us, be she always manages to blame us for all of his problems. It is parents like this that make me hate my job a little bit.I totally overestimated the amount of time it would take my students to complete today's assignment. My first two classes had 30-45 minutes of free time because they all got done so quickly. I didn't have anything else for them because I'm starting a new unit next week and I want all of the classes to start at the same time.
As of today there are 36 days of school left, which means I will see each of my classes at the most 18 times.
