So...neither of the two subs nor the student teacher showed up this morning and not 1 of my 9 students was absent. That meant it was me and a damn certified resource teacher the entire day. That left teaching, diapering, behavior...EVERYTHING up to me. Without a break. SERIOUSLY???!!! I don’t know how the **** I got through the day. I was only assualted twice but only one of those two was from a student who could actually do any harm (of course the puny one did spit in my face about 5 times though). The big one I tried to get ahold of to restrain but he was kicking me repeatedly and so I couldn’t get under his arms to get him off the floor. So I gently laid on his legs and blocked his hits and attempts to bite with my arm until the resource teacher could get our security guy in the room to grab him. Then, the security guy had to come in the bathroom with me to change his pull up too because he continued to hit and try to bite me. I didn’t really want to restrain him anyway because that would have meant staying after school to finish the paperwork. The only other incident (thank God) was when one of my younger students decided to act like an *** and throw things around the room. That just meant a fight making him clean it up and then time out though. Regardless, I got through the day. And I did a pretty damn good job if I do say so myself. It wasn’t even bad emotionally because I was far too busy. The only time I got upset (and I’ll admit that I was fairly terrified) was when the bigger student started kicking me.
