A new week

We all came to school on Monday looking forward to a new week with hope that our difficult child had miraculously changed during the break. Monday went fairly well with only a couple of "almos" problems that we quickly took care of. Our elementary school starting on Tuesday had the second grade staff proctoring the fourth and fifth classes state standardized testing for the first three and half hours. To make matters worse they also changed my classes lunch and recess times. We told the students that their schedules would change a little and mass chaos ensued. Not too many people like change, but for my kids they had not been given any warning so they had trouble understanding it. This of course threw off our difficult student and she went off. we tried to get her in a room and close the door so that she would not disturb the test takers but it took a while. The principal came storming down and told her that if she had another outburst that she would be suspended from school for two days. At last someone who was ready to enforce some order. Thank you Principal.
