Of course I can't walk from my classroom to the lunge and back without managing to get myself into at least one conversation. Today I ended up in three. First was the 8th grade academy leader. She asked me to speak to one of the teachers about the referrals she submits to us. I don't like to talk to that woman any more than anybody else does, so I'm not thrilled about that request.My second conversation was with my mom, so that was ok. But then I got locked into conversation with Ophelia. Ophelia is another 6th grade teacher at my school. Talked to her has the potential to be relativelly unpleasant. She has this belief she knows more than anybody alive. The topic this morning happened to be one of our students. None of us enjoy this child much. However, Ophelia was the only teacher at his conference that had good things to say about him. turns out half of what she said was fabricated, but she's never going to openly admit to that. She also claims she never has any behavior problems with him. The rest of us want to throttle him. Needless to say, it is not the best way to start a work day.
My first period class is so far ahead of the rest of my classes. I had to be really creative with them today. I'm so sick of all the interruptions to my schedule that is causing my classes be all over the place. So I"m having them teach sections from the book to each other. Hopefullly that works.
