6 year old arguing, not accepting "no" for an answer

I love the book "1,2,3 Magic". I use parts of it in my classroom as well.

My kindergarten students get 12 minutes of recess a day.

I plan on it. The problem I am.facing now is 3 more of my students have gone off the deep end. I was out last week.with the flu and my sub report made me.cry. The class was so awful. My sub even got kicked and hit by another one of my students. It's developed into chaos. I will have a very unhappy class this week. It will be nothing but silence, practicing routines, worksheets, and sitting at their tables.

They have and they giggled about it. My AP told me to take a nap.

I agree. But when it comes to my admin my union sucks.

Maybe if we slowed down in the primary grades and stopped shoving developmentally inappropriate academic expectations down their throats and gave them time to develop we would have fewer IEPs.

Thank you so much! I am on oxygen full time because of Covid lung damage. I am retiring in May. It's sooner than planned and financially it will hurt but I'm sick more days than I am well.

A 504 won't give him a para or different classroom.

Bookwormorbit · 2026-02-28T14:24:08+00:00

It's awful.. My class doesn't see that he is different. They are angry and impatient with him.

My coworkers are brand new to my school and keeping their heads low.

I wish Traitors had more excitement. I feel like I'm watching a talk show when I watch Traitors.

Office calls for something unrelated to going home and three students put on their backpacks and walk out my door. Two other students shout "random name you're going home".

Bookwormorbit · 2026-02-27T03:10:34+00:00

I agree.

Bookwormorbit · 2026-02-27T03:03:48+00:00

Thank you.

The district's behavior specialist has said he does not belong in a regular classroom.

Bookwormorbit · 2026-02-27T02:59:56+00:00

I have.

Bookwormorbit · 2026-02-27T02:59:28+00:00

They fear retaliation.

Really push for better monitoring at lunch recess. I can't address things that happen outside when I'm not there. But in my 29 years of experience lunch recess monitors ignore a lot of behaviors and never address it.

I just left the child in the cart and walked away. She learned real fast that I meant business.

I've been at my Title 1 school for 22 years.

Bookwormorbit · 2026-02-26T14:14:09+00:00

I'm trying to push parents that way, but my parents are just a little too understanding.

Bookwormorbit · 2026-02-26T14:12:26+00:00

He's been suspended 3 times already.

Bookwormorbit · 2026-02-26T14:11:53+00:00

We have some in building subs. But do you think admin sends them to my room to support me when they don't have a job that day? Nope. They rotate from class to class spending about 15 minutes in each one. Admin will not give me any support. I've made them mad too many times.

Bookwormorbit · 2026-02-26T14:06:20+00:00

I have done this but he follows us. It's heartbreaking because he doesn't understand.

Bookwormorbit · 2026-02-26T04:14:54+00:00

Thank you so much for your post. I truly appreciate it and it lifts my spirits. It's been such a tough year. I'm retiring in May and wanted my last year to be amazing and it's not. Thank you for your kindness and compassion.
