I have a class of annoying elementary school children I don’t look forward to teaching. I teach them for an hour, then my director. Today, none of the students in the class did their homework. Most of them were extremely sarcastic, and did many other things to get on my nerves.

Usually this is no big deal, because the next teacher in class, my director, is as hard nosed as they come. I simply pass on any information about their behavior and they are corrected. Today they were exceptionally bad, so I was looking to put a hurt on them and keep them from having break until all of my homework was completed.

My director was being kept busy by a mother that had just enrolled her son at our school. She was assuring them about the content of the English books, the manner of the science program, and all sorts of other issues. I didn’t dare go up to her while she was trying to impress a parent by saying, “Hey, your next class is full of brats that don’t do homework.”

The woman simply wouldn’t leave, so by the time the next class started, the bad students had no teacher and were roaming the halls with impunity. They ended up disrupting my next class by peeking out of their classroom and running down the hall to watch what my director was doing.

They thought they were being clever.They were wearing masks for yellow dust, but they had put them on in the classroom. Even if we weren’t smart enough to figure out who was missing in a class of 8 students or by simply looking at what they were wearing, they put on the masks in the classroom that has closed circuit television sets that record everything the do. Idiots.

Since I had not one, but two classes ruined by them, I tracked down my director as soon as she finished talking to the woman under the guise of printing some papers. I asked if she had a hard time getting away from that woman, since she was supposed to be teaching class at that moment. She gave me a surprised look. “I thought it was your hour to teach those kids! I didn’t go to class because I thought you were teaching them!”

Since when do I let my children run around the school and bother other classes? She apologized to me for forgetting to teach and letting them bother my other class.  I’d like it if she could contain their little [tag]mischief[/tag] to one class from now on. The last thing I need is a school full of children like them.
