Stupid administration. I already have the most number of kids in my class out of all the fourth grade classes. I'm not complaining, but I expect other classes to get more kids before I get any more, right? I received an e-mail today that was quite interesting:
I was informed that a student would be switching into my class because she had a reading problem, and her mother requested that she switch 'environments' because she was having stomach problems. Which of course, our administration granted.
I went to the teacher who has her now and asked her what the situation was. The teacher had no knowledge of the student having ANY issues, and was clueless. So I went to the administration after school to clarify and see what was causing her stomach problems, and if there was anything else I needed to know.
I was told that she heard that the student ALWAYS wanted to be in my class and her stomach hurt because the work was too hard. I informed our administration that it was not going to get any easier in my class, to which my boss said "That's what I want the parent to realize."
REALLY?? You couldn't just tell the parent this and save me the trouble of adjusting her to our class, teaching her the rules, getting her caught up and everything else? OH MY GOD. Add it to the list of 1,489530 other things I have to do during the school day. So what if other students get stomach 'problems' and want to switch to my class? Will I end up with 45 students? Give me a break.
Add this to me being exhausted already and missing my husband, and I was near tears. Was this something to cry over, normally NO, but me being tired makes me a big baby about everything.
Just one of those days where I need my husband and a hug at the end of the day :(

Maybe your admin and my admin should do coffee. They pull that stuff on us all the time. It's already happened to me 3 times this year.
This is funny in a sad way, because our principal will not let a child switch classes for ANYTHING....I could cut a kid and she would make them stay in my room...maybe i should try it ;)
