That's my plan for tonight. Meghan and I are going to be bums. Today's gone well, but at the end of the year, every day seems like an eternity. You're so ready for a break, and you know that break is coming. It just can't come quick enough.
I've spent the last half-hour listening to three staff members physically restrain a second grader with paranoid schizophrenia. He's all of eight, and it takes three people to contain him when he gets upset. They can't keep him from screaming, but he is certainly a handful. I start to wonder about my job when I hear him, especially since he may be my student next year. I didn't get into this to hurt anyone, and I'm certainly not relishing the thought of learning to restrain children. You see little children on television in handcuffs, and you wonder why they resort to that. I know how schools get in these tough spots. We have at least three children at my school who shouldn't be in a public, regular education program. Its slightly depressing.
Henry's a good dog. He slept out of his crate last night, and it was very nice. I like feeling his head on my leg. Everyone needs a puppy.
