Why should we as teachers be avaliable 24-7 to our students? I am going through hell in my school with the harassment being heaped on me. I am calm, kool and collected. I AM AN ADULT. I CAN CUT IT! Who listens to me?<BR/>Who tells me everything will be come out well in the end? NO ONE AND I DON'T EXPECT ANY ONE TO.<BR/><BR/>This is a hard ball world and getting harder and these kids want to goof off and think their charm and wit will get them over. Time to remind this student and students that you are nice and compassionate because that's your nature but many in this world are not and it is time to grow up!JUSTICE not "just us"https://www.blogger.com/profile/05502604957951804040noreply@blogger.com
