Christmas? Bleah....
Maybe I'm being influenced by some people who shall be unnamed. It just seems kinda depressing.....I was more into it last year. This year--not so much. But, I am happy that we have 2 weeks off and I am happy that I'll have a month off before my next 2 classes starts and I am happy that we'll have visitors over Winter break. Am I rushing to decorate the tree tonight? Eh. Maybe tomorrow night.
I truly think that students and parents are getting worse every year. IMHO---family structure/dynamic is not sound and falling apart; morals and ethics are not what it should be. Parents are not paying attention to their children or they've lost control of them a long time ago. There's no respect from students anymore. Students are darker and scary. There's no accountability on student's part or parent's part. Why the rant? A couple of things going on---one student has missed so many days of school and failing. Parents will blame it on the school despite repeated warnings from teachers. Another student transferred to our school last March, showed up for the first two weeks of school this year, then transferred to back to the old school and has now transferred back to us today. Must be nice to be able to pick and choose your school and do whatever you want. Another student has transferred to so many schools---5 schools in 2 years and you wonder why the student is constantly absent and can't keep up academically. I feel for that kid---no stability!! Bad enough when you have to deal with the pressure of all that as a "normal" child but it's worse for student with a disability---it's ten times harder to deal with new school, teachers, peers, system, etc. I don't know---I truly feel that society is going down the tube and the world will end because the world is a greedy, non-compassionate, self-centered entity. It's sad...it really is.
