I have decided...

...there should be a TV show about my school. Honestly, it's like playing Russian roulette every morning I get up, because you don't know what you're going to get. Some days it's massive relief while other days you feel like you want to blow your brains out.

Today, our principal gets on the intercom about an hour into school and you can tell he's fired up. Apparently there was quite a large buzz about some massive fighting that was going to take place between the "skaters" and some other "group" and he was NOT going to put up with it. Therefore... that led to our students being held inside their classrooms, not attending any related arts (which translates into us regular ed teachers not receiving ANY break from our kids) being walked to the bathroom in silence and only 3 in the bathroom at a time, and being dominated with severe supervision in the lunchroom the entire time. At the end of the day, each class was then escorted to busses and cars. Each kid was searched and every locker as well.

It felt like prison. For everyone. It was exhausting and kids were frustrated. So we had a little chat about how much freedom we really do have normally and how ridiculous it is when kids act like this which ruins it for everyone.

Hopefully he proved his point, because I sure as heck hope to not go through that again. I was flipping out on my kids!
