And then I saw that Cybil punched Marley and my first thought was, "Phew, Marley got PUNCHED ... it's not her!" Couldn't have been happier to hear that my daughter got beat up. heehee. <br />But, I am sorry to hear that you are having such a hard time. I have had experiences with kids that just make it so difficult to love them! Glad to know that you are human too! AND that you are trying so hard TO FIND A WAY to love her despite the difficulty. Thanks so much for being a great (and patient) teacher!Melissa Yergensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08797573465908831308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892544521426422821.post-40388155105196057872011-02-13T00:19:52.183-07:002011-02-13T00:19:52.183-07:00Wow!!!!

I work with the "neediest" children at our school, and I pride myself on my patience...but sometimes, someone GETS to me...IT'S OK!!!!! The kids have to know that we are human, not perfect, and subject to those pesky bouts of imperfection that they also face...YOU ARE AWESOME!!!!!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04698429901623063280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892544521426422821.post-29116517039634941962011-02-12T15:13:59.007-07:002011-02-12T15:13:59.007-07:00Oh boy. Sorry to say that I laughed out loud--and ...Oh boy. Sorry to say that I laughed out loud--and really hard--about the drama queen part. Because I could totally see Isabel hearing that and tucking it away for further use on her MOTHER.<br /><br />Isabel made her giant Valentine at school for you. Not for her parent(s) as the other 26 children did. <br /><br />You are something special. You are one of a kind. And, you were BORN to be a teacher. Those little rascals get the best of us sometimes and, honestly, I think that your leaving her in the office may just have been the natural consequence she needed.

Her home life at her mom's house is the main contributor to her classroom behavior. <br />Isn't it interesting that Cybil pulled all this after "intervention"? <br /><br />Thank you for being a teacher with patience. There are parents out there who really shouldn't be parents. And often they send their kids to school without the readiness to learn. <br />Cybil will remember you and be thankful to you as an adult who believes in her and holds her accountable. :) <br />It is almost spring break.

Short tempered with getting The Native's ready for school. <br /><br />Sounds like you've got a "Junie B. Jones" in your class. :D <br /><br />I like emlizalmo's comments.

Her teacher has talked to me about how this one child makes her question her decision to be a teacher because she just won't break dowm and listen or follow directions no matter what the concequences. She even told the Principal off. Sometimes it is the kids and not the teacher. I love teaching and can't wait to get into the classroom at least subbing when Jaimee goes to school ion a couple years.

Teaching, especially 6 year olds, seems exhausting. I usually had to come home and change my sweaty clothes after teaching sharing time to little people (4 of which were mine). I think you teachers are remarkable. <br /><br />Second...you are fabulous. I would imagine Miss Cybil doesn't really have much structure or discipline at home. She needs it. She knows you love her. That whole class knows you love them. You ooze love. <br /><br />Third...I'm so sorry you had a crappy day. Tomorrow will certainly be better. Hope you finished it off with a big DC.<br /><br />Last thought...I know you feel all the eyes were on you...to see how you would react. They may have been. Cybil crossed the line and there were consequences. Those little eyes need to see that too. Wish I knew how to make you feel better. You are always SO up, SO positive and happy, that even when you aren't...you still are. :)emlizalmohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02319718355765912262noreply@blogger.com
