In Trouble

One day last week I want to say it was Thursday and found out that there were a bunch of kids who had gotten themselves into trouble for one reason or another. So our dean was doing an in school suspension sort of thing.

One group was with our 7th and 8th grade LA teacher who is no nonsense. They were in a straight line, not talking, looking a little afraid, going to her classroom. They were working on their work and could hear a pencil drop.

The second group was in our front conference room. They were not as put together as the first group was. They were all at their own tables but still talking with each other. In the middle of the room on his cell phone playing is our jack of all trades maintenance man. He has a heart of gold, but he is one tough Russian/Turkish man who I would not want to upset.

One of the students in the room called my other sped teacher in to the room

Student: Hey Ms. F will you come in and color with me.

Staff: I thought you were in trouble

Student: I am but I’m still coloring.
