Yesterday was a difficult day at work with several students getting extremely verbally aggressive and certainly the threat of physical, bumping up against the teacher's chest trying to get at each other. They were both suspended for the day today and the third party that was egging them on was talked with as well. They all reacted badly but will probably get over it given enough time and space.
I'm still amazed that even though we deal very well with these issues when they arise, that they sometimes take a toll in other ways. The day started badly with the pool closing shortly after I got there...it was full of snot! I walked at lunch time but by the afternoon I was downright cranky. It wasn't my best eating day either.
Tomorrow is another day!

I think it's pretty understandable Elly. Dealing with it in the moment is one thing, but any sane person needs to be unsettled by the threat of violence. Fortunately the world has you to balance all that anger with love. Keep doing what you're doing. I just know you are touching so many lives in a positive way every day that you go to that school! And for that matter, even the days you don't go.
