So, yesterday, a student went into my desk and stole my phone. Now, granted, this wasn’t the greatest phone, but it was mine, and it was my one and only source for phone numbers. I literally now have no one’s numbers. I think I maybe know two or three numbers off the top of my head, and thats it.
By the time I managed to cancel the phone that evening, there had already been three calls, two to Detroit, one to Atlanta. Right after I got home with a new phone, I got a call from Detroit where someone, upon hearing my voice, told me he thought he had a wrong number. I told him that I thought he didn’t and who was he looking for. Of course, he hung up. I did the whole reverse lookup thing, and saw that they were calling named Carter in Inkster, Michigan, but other than that, no success.
Today, me confronting students with this resulted in an almost brawl, and a possible one later that day. Sigh, the fun seemes to keep coming.
In other news, and postive at that matter, there has been massive improvement for many students in prep for the MAP test. Its a huge deal in this state, and we’ve see a lot of gains among both my students and Mr. Bauer’s in sixth grade, especially as compared to last time we tested them. I am actually starting to feel like there could be some massive gains, instead of worrying that I’m not succeeding!
