When I try to stay positive when I have so much work to do
class
When it’s a holiday
When I change the lesson plan at the last minute to play a team building game
When students use the R word
When students hand in work from last semester
When the cafeteria is closed and students have to use the vending machines
When I have to block the door to stop students from leaving before the bell
When I threaten to kick a student out of class if they do one more thing
They test me like:
When I catch students in a lie
When a student storms out of class in anger
