Devil Child
There are just some days with some children that make me wonde
r what the heck I was thinking becoming a sub. Today, it was a fifth grade class of evil that made me want to puke. One girl, in particular, has a bright future ahead of her...in juvi. This 11 year old started off with attitude issues which only got worse with each passing minute. If I reprimanded her for anything, she would not let me talk, and kept giving me a smart mouth. I guess she expected me to just let it slide, and give her a good report with her teacher. A neighboring teacher said, "She's such a smart girl and gets straight As in everything, but her problem is her attitude." Yeah. But, smart is as smart does and I just don't see it in her. I had to end up giving her a referral at which point she said, "I'm not going to do the work then." Whatever. Stupid parents. Supposedly they've come to a point where they don't know what to do with her. Well, let me clue you in...Parents, if you start good, you'll finish well. If you ignore them in the beginning, they will continue to walk all over you and try to do it to the rest of the world, and when they finally land in prison, you wonder "What did I do wrong?"
Anyhow, by the end of the day, Little Miss Thang landed herself a gig at the Lost Children's school. (Not because I gave her a referral, but rather, I suspect, because she mouthed off to the wrong person.) I have this class tomorrow. I won't miss her.
