Emotional Day
Working in a high school has its pitfalls. Today I got to see a kid bang a social work intern's head into a wall. It wasn't completely an attack but I could tell it hurt her. Violence is not okay but what makes this extrordinary is that we hardly ever have any violence on campus. Garza is a very safe place compared to many other high schools.
And then my third block of kids are very hard to deal with. We have a range of bitchy, bratty, needy, and hard workers. All this after lunch combined with another migraine made my day less than perfect.
But on the bright side I got to have a heart to heart with a student and it always feels good to involved in a student's life. We can help better if we know what's going on, or we can just be more understanding.
