(no subject)
Well, it looks like two of my special children are being suspended tomorrow for the rest of the year for looking at inappropriate things on the ipads.
*sigh*
Why do I feel so guilty over this? Like, if I'd made different teaching choices or been kinder, then this wouldn't have happened? I know it's ridiculous. I know this isn't my fault. I didn't make the poor choice, they did. I didn't choose to look up "sex" and "stripper" and two apparently inappropriate Spanish words--they did. And yet, I can't help but think there has to be something more I could have done.
Except that there's not. I can't control other people (regardless of how much I sometimes wish I could) and I can't make their decisions for them.
*sigh*
In other news, my house is overrun with spiders. Usually dead spiders, but spiders all the same. Did you know I'll scream just as loudly over a spider carcass as I will over a living spider? True story! And did you know that one of the worst feelings in the world is hunting down a spider so you can obliterate it on the spot, only to discover TWO more dead bodies? And did you know that the absolute worst feeling in the world is sucking those blighters up with the vacuum hose, knowing that they're travelling right through your hand with only a small lining of plastic separating you?
I live such an exciting life.
