Three days of school left with kids. I don't hate school at this point, the kids have settled in and they aren't fighting assignments, me or each other. The kid who was throwing Pop rocks (the firecrackers) and was sent back to my room because it wasn't a major issue brought a knife to school. He was suspended for five days (not expelled the knife wasn't long enough, apparently). It's been nice not having him and its horrible, but I hope he doesn't return next year. There is something seriously wrong with him. I have some really great kids who I will miss and I have some kids who I am happy to be done with. The social worker called cps on one of my kids last week. I questioned the decision and found it odd that I wasn't asked before the paper work started moving forward. Yes, this kid is involved with truancy. And yes the parents are fucked up and the brothers are on drugs, BUT what is cps going to do with a 14 year old who has no where else to go? He doesn't has bruises, it's a neglect issue, but he's 14. What could they do for him? I was right. They did nothing other than ask questions to the family on a Saturday morning.
