And I do get to move three boys out of my class, and I get two girls. The move will happen next week Thursday. Two of the three boys I'm moving are ones I wanted to move. I wasn't allowed to give away the third one I wanted. I had to pick another. So I chose a student who is very quiet, but not a leader. I need any leader I can keep. I hate to see a quiet one go, though.
One of the boys who I will be moving is of average smarts, but is so loud and blurts out constantly. I can't wait to get rid of him. My life will be easier.
Ms. 4/5 Teacher, who has been spending the last month with only 10 children for the first three hours of the day, has told me she's already looking for other work. I know she talked last year of quitting teaching. But she says she didn't quit just because of how this year was supposed to work for her, with only teaching half her class all morning long. I am not impressed at all by this attitude. Did she really think that she could go all year long with a schedule like this? And why did she think she was so deserving of this special treatment? This is public school.
Finally, I do feel sorry for any of her students. Her class will go through a major change next week, with her split being disbanded. Then half her class will be new. That's a hard thing; I did it four years ago. You start over again. So if she adds to that by quitting? Those poor kids. Plus my other teammate is slated to be leaving and moving out of state in December. My class will be the only stable one.
And Ms. 4/5 Teacher doesn't vote. She says she is a political atheist. I don't have any respect for someone who doesn't vote.
I can't wait for Thursday!
