I'm just having one of those really hard days today.
There is a child in the kindergarten class I'm student teaching in, whom I'll call A. He's been giving the teacher trouble all year, from what I've heard. It's just been escalating.
My second day of student teaching, he poked my breast, smirked, and said "I just wanted to know what that was. I'm curious."
He said the "f" word to every student he could, every chance he got.
He ran around kissing every girl he could, and then claimed he "couldn't help it."
He told another student he was going to cut our head teacher's throat.
Through all of this, he smirks and shows no remorse. He lies all the time.
Then today, during Health class, the sub took them outside. He proceeded to choke another student, an incredibly sweet and kind girl who never bothers anyone. He leaves a bloody mark on her neck from his hands. When our head teacher asks if he realizes what he did was a really big mistake, A smirks and says no.
A is being sent to another classroom to keep him away from the students he terrorized, and counseling is being called in.
As a teacher, to realize there are some kids I just can't help, or save. I feel like I'm losing my spark a bit, the shine wearing off a bit, and even though its a good learning experience, it hurts who I am right now.
