Good, Bad and Ugly

Bad: M, a super-hyper active student with severe problems [with whom I'm in a pseudo-detente all the time] walked in late today and proceeded, within minutes, to make two girls horribly uncomfortable/distraught by "cutting ass" on their appearances. A phone call home and a long talk about how women's appearances are an off-limits subject for "playin'" as well as ten minutes of silence for the whole class cause i was pissed ensued. More discipline to come tomorrow.

Good: A particularly thoughtful student,"D" who had previously made some sketchy comments about the immigration protests watched the news, reflected, came in today and told me he regretted what he'd said. [admittedly, this might have to do with his learning that some protestors were in an ethnic group closer to his, but still, i was so proud of him]. That's a huge thing to happen to a teenager at my school. Yay, "D"!

Ugly: my garbage can springing a leak halfway through the day.
