Mid-Quarter
Now we are at mid-quarter:
N is still in JDC. Should come back next week.
B is done. I cut him. His PO will violate.We will only take him back after a meeting with his mother and his PO. They must agree to counseling of a formal sort. I am doubtful.
R-2 did not show up. I am getting worried about his attendance. He could have gotten his .5s if he had shown today. Now he gets smacked with .25s and needs to step up. I fear trouble on the home front. His mother is useless.
B-2 is out sick with the flu. He will get .25s. Those 2 days he took being lazy will cost him now. At least his parents are calling.
R-3 is doing well. Here every day. Earned all .5s
K has done great this far. Sort of. He told another teacher on Thurs that he was "bout to get stole on" if he didn't get out his face. I sat him down the next morning and said he needed to get this straight. I have seen him in this state before. He always justifies his rage. This time he is contrite. His head is down and he says little. He apologizes to E and shakes his hand. Light years from what he would have done last year. He earns all his credit. He has missed 0 days.
R-1 is conspicuous by his absence. I call his father's cell. He tells me in broken English that R-1 is on his way. He had to round up money for gas. He should arrive any minute. He does. He is over on his attendance. His behavior and attention to detail on his work are above and beyond. I give him all his credit and warn him that his PO is watching. I think he has rank in the Asian Bloods. He is quiet and aware. I know he is bangin on the streets. He is bangin in his head. He is in deep. I want to see him here in June.
A has been here every day. He has become lazy and whiney. His thinking process disturbs me. He is missing assignments. He swears he left them at home. He swears he will bring them Monday. I don't believe him. The low-grade noncompliance is showing. I give him .25s for now. He must bring the missing assignments. We will see.
A-2 has earned all his credit. He is thriving. He is still a troubled boy. Something not right at home.
E has missing assignments. He hates to write. He is doing better than before. But I expect more. We have a long way to go. I give him .25s in Language Arts. .5s for the others.
L is hyper and happy. He is over by a day but I give him full credit. He is doing better than he ever has. Still I am troubled. I know he will not be here Monday.
M is new. I started him yesterday. We have known his family a long time. I have taught his brothers R and D. They are a troubled family. He has a black eye and an arm heavily bandaged. Slice by a knife. Just yesterday. A fight in a park. He is on probation for felony burglary. He has no credits. He has an IEP. I know his mother from years past. She just wants to fill out the paper work. He will be a piece of work.

Man, you have got some real stones. You work one of the hardest jobs that there is - and least appreciated.
You need to get them up to Barrow so that the bullshit will leave them, and they will start to heal.
