So, we got this new girl from the other middle school in town. She was giving them holy hell and we have a unit in our building that is kind of a "last chance" for misbehavers. It's supposed to be a "service" that we provide to these kids.
I got the unfortunate luck of getting this kid for two periods back to back in the afternoon. This means that neither of the teachers that is supposed to provide assistance is able to be in my classroom. Which SUCKS, because that's their job. They're over-extended. I get that. But this girl is new to our building and has already built herself a reputation in another building. In addition to not having assistance, I also get the end of this girl's day, which means she's already tired of playing nice.
She's only been in my class for 4 days and I've already kicked her out. She was totally rude to me today for no reason. She refused to do the work I asked her to do. She lasted FIVE minutes before she started being a total bi-atch (sp?). And the best part? I think my boss is going to blame it on me tomorrow morning. He popped his head in my room at the end of the day to say he wanted to talk.
I may get suspended from my job tomorrow. If he tries to peg her rude behavior on me, I'm going to throw a total fit. AND I'm going to go to the union president about it. I don't think it's right that they stick her in my room totally unsupervised, when all of her morning teachers get help. This program is designed to monitor her, and she's NOT being monitored. I'm not trained to deal with her. I'm trained to educate the other 15 kids in the room who are there to learn and do what I ask them to do.
Whatever. Craptacular afternoon to me!

Sorry to hear about this unfortunate circumstance. Hopefully the conversation goes ok. I would totally talk up the points you mentioned and if the boss doesn't want to hear it I would go straight to the union! Good luck!
Sounds like total crap to me, if the purpose of the program is to provide her with extra support and structure, and that's NOT being done in your classroom. Good luck!
I'm wierd, but I like the bad-ass kids, I bet I would like this girl!
sounds really frustrating. I hope the talk with the boss goes well.
