Strike 3....

My moron of a student teacher pulled the biggest "boner" of the semester today. He shows up late to work...strolling down the hall after the bell has already rung signaling first period. I am already moving up the hallway to my first period study hall, wondering where this kid is, when I see him come walking towards me amid a sea of students. He smiles and says he's sorry...I just kept walking and said "You gotta get here a lot earlier than this!" I was livid! To make matters worse, I get no reason as to WHY he is late to begin with.
So I start class, and begin emailing his advisor, he comes up and says he needs to go to the bathroom because he thinks he is going to be sick...That's right super sibs....the boy was hung over! That was my assumption, and I am standing by it based on the way he looked, the fact that I got NO explanation, and the way he improved as the morning wore on! What an idiot!
Wouldn't you think after the "come to Jesus" meeting I had with him last week he would figure this out, and realize that he cannot screw up anymore! This kid is on his way out the door...I was so tempted to up and ask him how the party was last night, or say, 'so, what are you...hung over or something?' Now I wish I had!
Then the rest of the day, he is hanging by my side when he should be supervising the students more while I am doing busy work on this computer...when the I.T. guy came in and was helping me with a chart I was making, he comes up and stands there listening when he should have been moving among the kids. I had to tell him to go watch the students...WHY do I have tell him something he should know??? He actually told me today that he thinks he is good at being explicit with directions etc...that it was his strength! SO SHOW ME THAT ALREADY!

Has NOT been a good day! I have a call in to his Professor...he will be really pissed, I am sure of that knowing him. This could be the end of this kid's trail at Old Town High School! I will keep you posted. He is not in tomorrow...seminar all day...and I have a feeling he is going to get one heck of a tongue lashing.

Kyle drove a car today! Yikes....and now I have to go buy him pizza ingredients for a biology project...he is making a cross section of an animal cell and using the toppings for all the organelles in the cell membrane. It's a pain in the butt for me, but a good idea nevertheless.

TTFN AND TGIF (tomorrow)
