Let me cut to the chase.

I teach sixth graders but they don’t behave their age. A girl and a boy were involved in a quibble and exchanging heated words. I told the boy to let it go and return to his seat. He has a history of ADHD, which requires him to take medication. He exploded and flipped the desk and threw a chair.

The chair hit another student on the forehead. The victim had to go down to the general office to get an ice pack. Thankfully, he wasn’t injured.

Had to call the victim’s mother to explain the incident. Hopefully, she doesn’t complain to the school leaders about me.

During my lesson with the fourth graders, a boy was throwing paper balls at another student. I grabbed his chair. Thing is, I grabbed it so hard that he fell to the ground.

The class gasped. I carried on with the rest of the lesson. I hoped that the boy doesn’t go home and complain to his mother.

Sigh. I hope I don’t lose my job because of such mishaps. lol
