A week ago during the long bout that is parent conferences, my team and I had a conversation with a parent of a child with “behavioral issues.” Mainly, he doesn’t behave.
After discussions, we decided that we would move this student to a different section with different kids to see if it would curtail the bad behavior, fighting, acting out, inattention, lackadaisicality, inappropriate remarks, (insert other negative behaviors here), and so forth.
The day after, the kid comes into my class with a new outlook on life, a fresh perspective, a new desire to make a difference, a burp-machine.
Go figure.
Thanks Burger King and Nickelodeon. And a special thank you to the parent who made sure that “so & so” started off in his new class on the right foot. I appreciate it. Your first-prize whoopee cushion is in the mail.
Sit on it, please.
