Another week is about to begin for me. I was very fortunate to have the holiday off so it will only be a four day week, but I am really, really not looking forward to this week. Why? PARENTS!
Ok one in particular right now, but I just know there are others lying in wait. They are going to be super pissed about their student's grade and how insensitive I seem to be.
After Friday, I am going to try to get a little bitchier. I was told several times that I was way to nice with that parent. That I really should have gotten bitchier with her after I spent 40 minutes on the phone telling her the same thing over and over and over again. We just kept going in circles.
There are several students who I realy do like personally but am showing them the door tomorrow morning. I will be sending them to their counselor to find their way out of the AP class. They just can't handle it. They are in a college level course and I cannot be holding their hands the way they seem to need. They cannot keep up with the pace of instruction.
I have come up with a way to try to cut down on the number of students who are missing assignments, but it is only going to work if they follow through with it and I do the same. It is going to be tough in the beginning, remember to check these folders.... but I think if I use them than there will be less issues about them having received the assignment.
Only 4 work days until the weekend.
