*Gosh*...
How horrible. As a lot of you already know, I'm teaching 5 weeks of summer classes at Bradbury. This week, I have several special needs children and several "problematic" children. One child in particular has attachment issues, and won't stop crying... AT ALL. His parents came up to talk to me today, and his mum was nice enough... but his dad just pretty much verbally attacked me. At first, he wouldn't even look at me when he was talking to me... and that really pissed me off. I've come to realise that when (IF) I become a mum, I'm going to treat my kids' teachers with a super level of respect otherwise the teacher may come to treat the child differently. I hate to admit this, but having difficult parents DOES affect how I treat the children no matter how sweet they are. I'm not saying that I take it out on the children... NEVER! I'm just way too cautious and worry that their parents will spazz... and I'm sure this affects their development because I'm just too afraid that they do something wrong and that I'll hear about it from their parents... ugh...
So tired... I can't believe it's only Tuesday. This week is going way too slowly for me...~
