Lord of the Flies sequel

Yikes. William Golding must have taught 7th grade. Ye gawds, today was a nightmare. I had four students suspended. One for calling a girl, Moochelle among other things (speaking of Piggy). Of course, it snowballed with other kids getting involved and retaliating. One of my girls used the N-word. One of my boys punched another kid in the crotch. I am coming up with a tight seating arrangement for the next couple of days; I'm partly to blame for the chaos. Plus, I'd planned for a certain schedule that was changed by my teammate.

Yet, the day ended with a magnificent game of girls v boys kickball. The girls almost won, but had one too many errors.

My sister leaves for Paris tomorrow while I get deal with the middle school end of the year crazy. Different strokes for different folks, eh?
