I'm going to shackle the little monsters together. Not quite literally but almost. I've decided to pair up the top students with the lowest performers. If they won't allow me to help them, then maybe they can pull each other up. I'm going to average together both their behavior grades and their quiz grades so they will be forced to be responsible for and to each other. So there! (this better work- it's almost Christmas and I'm running out of management options)
And can you believe I am on the verge of being fired over potty problems? Not mine, although not having an opportunity to go to the bathroom for over 12 hours should certainly qualify as a problem. No- I actually have 6th graders that pee their pants on purpose and then blame me. Even though I take the entire class to the bathroom frequently. As in every hour and a half. And then their crazy illiterate parents come into my classroom and scream at me in front of the kids. Isn't teaching wonderful? Doesn't it just give you a warm feeling inside? Or in the case of my students- a warm feeling inside your pants?
