I wish...

...school would just once exceed my positive rather than my negative expectations.


Yep. Asshats in 4rth pushing the muttering to an art form. Network started down, discipline system down, and nothing but punkish insolence. If I'm not standing on their toes, they're disturbing class.

4rth period is a wash; grades going down. No joy whatsoever. FUCK THESE FUCKING ASSHOLES.

Just once I'd like to have a day without spitting rappers, without ... wow.

I can't believe this.


Why am I not allowed to throw these students out?

Trouble is, the school isn't a school, from what you've said. It's a detention center, and you're window dressing in a big game of pretend.

It's no wonder that you hate it, especially as it was sold to you under false pretenses.

I can reach most of the students; but I can't get rid of the ones I can't reach, who are disruptive. What should I do with a student who has literally failed every high school class for 3 years?

Tell them to go hang out at the corner liquor store, since that's what they're going to do for the rest of their life if they don't actually learn at least a little something while in school. If they take you up on it, they won't be disrupting the class.
