For the first time in 32 years of teaching, I have never felt so worthless and devalued. Yesterday, a student refused to move to her assigned seat. After a few times of asking her to move to her seat, I finally told her if she could choose to move or go to student services. She got up, stormed out of the room, and slammed the door. I wrote her up. Today I received an email from Student Service telling me we would be doing a restorative talk. Have you ever had to do a restorative talk or circle?

So sorry you are experiencing this! Try to remember not to take the child’s behavior personally. She is probably struggling with something that has nothing to do with you. Acting out and refusing to listen and follow directions could be her way of trying to gain control because she feel powerless in other ways. It could be any number of things. What works for me with kids who are having a hard time is showing a bit of flexibility- but on my terms- recognizing the child’s desire to have control and offering choices that work for me and them. I have not had to do a formal restorative conversation. But today’s kids are not taught to blindly except authority or to hide their emotional struggles to “behave and show respect”. This is very hard for those of us who are older teachers, myself included. I learned that I have to completely change my approach and treat the kids’ behavior as a form of communication and learn to Be flexible, meet them where they are at, and let go of taking their behavior personally. I hope this helps!

Thank you. I was able to have conversation with her, she did tell me that she is feeling a bit overwhelmed. I did talk with her yesterday and she agreed that she would sit in the assigned seat. Today was much better all around.

I’m sorry you’re feeling this way. You handled the situation professionally, and it’s disheartening when it feels like your authority isn’t supported. I’ve done a few restorative talks, and while they can help, they also feel like a slap in the face when you’re just enforcing basic rules. How are you holding up?

Thank you. The student talked to me today and apologized, and we have not had the restorative talk yet. We have never had a problem before, so I was kind of surprised. I told her that as far as I was concerned, everything is a fresh start.

20 years ago students did not act this way. Do you honestly think that students back then did not have problems? I had a horrible childhood and would never have acted in this manner. I think it’s crazy that we should let students do whatever they want because they are having problems. We need to teach students to persevere through their troubles.

I also had a horrible experience at a private school, but I learned I was still in control of my behavior, and it wasn't someone else's fault if I made bad choices.

I know they have been doing the restorative circles in elementary. Our new counselor and vice principal have both previously worked with elementary.

I’m sorry, but that’s just plain BS! And this is why we have the police involved shootings- because spoiled brat Kara can’t follow rules or directives! Let’s teach them with further reinforcement to not have to do as they are told with their restorative talks! And this is a great example of how parents let their children run the house!

This is so true. My thing is this:I am in the trenches with my students everyday. Someone who only pops into my room occasionally has no idea what is going on.

I have no idea what I’m doing. Life is a little overwhelming, and I want to keep growing as a professional but in a different direction than where I’m at right now. Switching careers and industries is so difficult. Props to those who’ve broken into their first job after a career change!

Second day in a row that I just want to respond to partners telling them to do whatever “it” is themselves. Stop calling me when you finish up your afternoon run when I’ve been rotting at my desk for over 15 hours a day every day this week. That is all.

I am in NY for the holidays and I picked up the longines master for $2050 at Macy's. I have always wanted one, but I just saw it on Jomashop on sale for $1400 and I am having some serious buyer's remorse. I am thinking of returning it and buying from Jomashop. Yay or Nay? Is Jomashop reliable?

Thanks.

I am a new associate (1 month in mid-tier firm) and I struggle to get work to fill up the whole day. In honest time, i get about 3-5 billable hours a day. Am I going to get in trouble or fired over this?? I am putting my best efforts when I do get work and I ask for work sometimes. At this point I feel like I am being annoying too…
