So this week we had another fight. This time it was not so successful. Seeing as how the fight started in the hallway right before lunch- every single 8th grader was out there and could not be stopped from running to "help." It was pretty frustrating because while my clinical faculty was frantically calling security I was frantically calling the office- neither of which were answering. Meanwhile 120 8th graders are fighting in the hallway.
I ever thought teaching would be easy, but this whole fighting business is getting old. I know it has a lot to do with their age and even more to do with their circumstances outside of school, but I just don't know. I left Wednesday thinking that I could not be at that school each day. Then I was reminded that I was at a school just like that every day for four months- and loved it. So maybe its different when you know the kids better and have a different relationship with them?
I have two days left at my internship. Only one of them is a Wednesday. If there is another fight, I might go crazy.
