Monday- off
Tuesday- Serious catch-up.
Wednesday- Possible drunk/ hung over teacher at CSM; posturing-parent meeting
Thursday- Way-off day (due to meeting); Finally spoke to Nick about concerns.
Friday- Less-off, but not fully together; Meeting at central office about teacher (Wed).
Still not together, but better.
Parent meeting went OK, but mother was posturing and somewhat intimidating/ bullying (she is an attorney). Glad I had another staff member there.
Mother was right on many points, but blamed me for the short-comings of her children in my class (lazy, disorganized, not engaged).
Will do what I have to do to fix things, but cannot do every thing she asked for- just no time and children do not know enough Spanish.
Keep drawing lines in the sand and then stepping over them and redrawing.
Goes back and back and back.
Eventually, I'm going to run out of sand.
The fact that I am unhappy in many areas of life is frightening.
What is more frightening is that I am not doing much to fix it.
I take the reactionary passive-aggressive stance, instead of proactive.
What the hell am I doing?
