Teaching is Hard

I promise to not try to be too down today, but it was a rough day. I had a parent confrontation in the cafeteria as we were about to line up to leave lunch. Lunch time is a stressful time all on its own, but add an angry parent and things got dramatic!

I'm o.k. now. I know what I did was right and I think it will all work out, but it was a difficult position to be in. The lunch room is definitely not the most appropriate time to be having a conversation (friendly or not). I'm really not sure why God placed me in that position today, but I do know that I am standing up to this student and making this child be accountable for their actions. I can rest knowing that I'm trying to be fair and love this child.

I think some parents think that their child will think that they aren't loved if they have to discipline them. But the Bible says that we are spoiling our children if we don't discipline them. I feel like the "bad guy" a lot of times and it's very uncomfortable for me. I just pray that tomorrow is a better day. I will try to be more upbeat. Meanwhile, I still want to post pictures, but my computer won't cooperate.
