Fighting the Dark Cloud of pudge!!

Well, my new school isn’t exactly what I expected.  When I was told we did not accept behavioural students I did not realize that was limited to those designated in spec ed as behavioural.  So, my first day I spoke with a parole officer who informed me that we have MANY of her students.  OY!  And she was right.

Aside from the constant fight for school domination, I now have a cold!  My second day off (and only week 2) and tomorrow I am seeing a dr.  It is getting better, but I can’t talk so I can’t take charge of an already unruly school.

Staff is great, on the other hand.  Just never thought I would find kids even more clueless than the last group I taught.  Perhaps some will surprise me here as some did there.  These kids are on their last chance in the school system and yet they still think they can have a school their way.  (showing up up to an hour late for class etc).  Quite the battle ahead of me.  Good thing I took that theatre voice training!!

On a brighter note, my DH is taking very good care of me, and my faithful dog is by my side - unless someone calls him for a meal.  At that time I am dumped like a hot potato!!  *sigh*

Hope all is well with my sisterhood here.  Will check in on your blogs.
