That tweet summarizes today. It was a rough day. In one of my co-taught classes, there is one student who has a blatant disregard for rules, directions, and human decency. Sure, I teach a bunch of teenagers with large egos and attitude problems. I only teach one who has no sense of respect for any other human being.
There is minimal support from his vice principal, and I am at the point where I no longer feel comfortable having him in our class. Sure, I have only taught about 400 students so far in my life, but this is still the only one who has made me truly question my profession. There have been rough days where I think for a few seconds "is it worth it?", but today is the only day where I am genuinely not sure.
The one kid may ruin this career for me. I know I should not get worked up over one student and instead focus on all of the positives - but I feel harassed and uncomfortable. That sort of behavior should have a zero tolerance from administration. ::sigh::
I guess I will just have to see how this pans out...
