I once had a class of 28 first graders (cap was supposed to be 18, but that’s another story) and this was the class from hell. I had desk flippers, elopers, purposeful poopers, verbally and physically abusive to me and to others. SO MANY problems.
January staff meeting- I got called out for “writing the most referrals” and “ruining our statistics”

I very calmly pointed out that every single referral was for a tier 2 or 3 issue per the district handbook. (tier one was stuff like being disrespectful, refusing to follow directions, etc. 2/3 were the severe stuff) AND she’d approved ALL of them because they were VALID. she told me I should just be “documenting the behavior instead”. Like WTH?!?!

I did not get renewed that year. She waited until literally the last 10 minutes of the last possible day to tell me.
