My seventh period was really horrible, mean, and disrespectful to me today. No teaching or learning or anything productive occurred in that class. It was really disappointing because I was on such a high after Tuesday...my co-teacher and I had our best co-taught lesson of the whole year, where I got to bring a lot of art into the geometry unit and our rough 5th period was actually having fun and learning. Then yesterday we had a snow day, so today was bound to go downhill from there, I guess.
One of my students is now going around telling everyone "we made Ms. C cry," even though I actually didn't cry until way after they left. 15 year olds can be such jerks when they want to be. I understand that they are stressed because finals are coming up, but today was ridiculous. I felt especially lucky today to have such a supportive staff, because instead of sitting in my room crying by myself, I had four different teachers to go to that made me feel better. My co teacher even suggested I write them a letter, so I did, but I'm a little nervous about how that is going to go. This is the first time since I met my students that I am not going to be happy to see them tomorrow.
