Quantcast

the enforcer

that's what i felt like today. if they want to test the boundaries, that's the age group right? well there were just too many of them today. so many of them are crying out for help too, on top of their middle school angst. i printed out the full serenity prayer and the prayer of st. francis of assissi. i'm going to tape them to my computer monitor as a reminder of how to discipline and set boundaries appropriately. early conference tomorrow due to a girl walking out of detention. sigh.

I know what you mean.  As a former middle school teacher, I also felt like the enforcer on many occasions.  You are also right about so many of them being in need of an understanding ear.  It's a tough age, but, like you, I also loved them.  They could make me mad and then make me laugh so hard that I couldn't stop.
