I think his teachers told him what he wanted to hear just to have a little peace. Now I'm cleaning up the mess. BUT, standard active listening and empathy has him focused on a 6-week plan that puts full responsibility in his hands. Working with him earned respect for me from the other students as well.
That, combined with a smaller class than I expected leaves me enough energy to take on the rest of the chaos that the first of the year brings. I'm a happy man! :-6

I got the girl who had 4 teachers sent away for awhile last year. She has a personal assistant this year. *yikes, I have her twice too* But she has done her work all week long in my classes, so I am hoping she has matured over the summer. It was a good week for me too.
Well, my angry guy got busted for pot and sent to alternative school for awhile. He's back. He's worse. C'est l'école I guess.
