A few days ago I got a student in my class that had a schedule change. I had heard a few things about him, but nothing specific. I would like to also mention he was wearing pants the first day. This is important.
The next day, I saw him in the principal's office because he had gotten in a fight after school.
Friday. Walking around while the kids are working. Look down for some reason. Kiddo is wearing shorts. I see--an ankle monitor.
Like Martha Stewart wore. Somehow I don't think this kid was doing insider trading. He's in 8th grade, by the way.
I would, however, like to know what the hell he has it on for. I don't feel threatened by him (yet) but I'd like to know whether or not it's a good idea for me to be in the classroom alone with him. I'm also a little pissed because on the student/parent application, it says that the school absolutely does not accept kids from juvie. Obviously not true.
G is furious. My parents are furious. What if this kid assaulted someone?
On the other hand, I had them write papers and he wrote a pretty eloquent one. I guess you never know.
