This note was left on my desk today by a disruptive student from my science class...
Dear, Mrs. ritchie/best science teacher :)
Listen why i'm not paying attention is because my grandma died not to long ago, so i try to have as much fun as i can so i don't really think about her. But i promise i'll pay more attention in class. I'm very sorry.
P.S. I'm S'o sorry, and happy saint patricks day. :)
P.S. The table i yous't to sit at i couldn't push in my toat tray and it is so wabbely. :)
Honestly, I feel terrible and pretty bad for the kid--talk about a stab to the heart. But I think he needs to try to have fun elsewhere and start paying attention in class. I am a fun science teacher and we do awesome experiments. I want my students to have fun, but he needs to find his out at recess or lunch or somewhere else. Am I mean for saying that?
Oh, and the office lady told me that she died six months ago and he uses it as an excuse for everything. I get it, my grandma died too and it was sad and I struggled for a really long time. I will be nicer to the kid now that I know, but he better keep his promise and try harder to be better in class too. Wow, that sounds harsh. Don't judge, it's been a long week.

My grandma died 2 1/2 years ago, so do I have to go to PTC tonight?
He needs to learn appropriate ways to deal with his grief. Disrupting class is not an appropriate way. Definitely be extra nice, it's a hard thing for anyone to deal with. But I think the expectations for his behavior should be the same. That's my opinion anyway = ).
