It's been a horrible week at work. The kids are totally out of control. On a related note, the FCAT (standardized testing) begins next Tuesday and continues until the 12th. At least, I hope the two are related and that the kids are only acting out because of anxiety about the FCAT and not because they're just all going insane. They're really being terrible. And it's so stupid of them, because we've planned a field trip to Sea World a week after the testing is over, and we're not taking any that don't behave. I imagine some of them realize there's no point in trying, since they've been horrible all year. I was ready to quit until I heard from all the rest of the teachers on my team that the kids are being terrible for them too. But it doesn't make the future look good for my being a teacher. It's too bad, too, since I wanted to be a teacher all my life. The only other job I ever wanted to have as a child was to work at Disney. I miss the happiness there. It's sounding better and better every day. I just have to hold out till the end of the school year.
