The week from hell

How does it keep getting worse? My kids are awful this year. No respect, they just don't give a damn. I try way too hard teaching a split. They just won't cooperate. I don't know what to do. This restorative justice crap is the pits. Referrals and suspensions aren't working. Any ideas? Amanda is sick with strep. One of my student's lost their home in an electrical fire this week and we are doing what we can to help. MEAP next week....can't wait. I got a new student today. 11 and never been to school. Just got off the boat. Zero English. Probably will have to take the MEAP though. He was in the 3rd grade in Bangladesh. (I had a translator) and they put him in the 5th grade and he sits there all day. Doesn't that make sense? And they are cutting us 165.00 per student. I have 28 students in a split. Most of them can't read worth a damn. They are at least a year or two behind due to lack of English and yet they have to take the MEAP and it is our fault if they don't pass. We have ADD, ADHD, CI, you name it. No help, didn't even get workbooks this year because of funding but yet they must make AYP. What shitheads make up these rules anyway? It is what it is.
