Tough Days

I'm not going to lie - some days you'll want to pull your hair out. Not one of today's seven classes behaved. I try not to yell, but I actually turned the lights out on one class after yelling for them to sit down. Part of me felt like a horrible teacher, but the other part of me didn't want to let them get away with misbehaving. The students who were paying attention were glad that I said something. For the others, the Miss-Russell-yelling surprise factor wasn't necessarily a bad thing. You won't consider every day "successful," but remember this: every tough day gets you closer to Friday!
