I am becoming more proactive about getting my kids back. Grades 1-12. we do serve a population that probably has a higher percentage of “at risk” but 2% of our student body is currently in inpatient psychiatric care. 2%. Inpatient. Bars are open. I told my admin today - I understand that you have to have policies. Now tell me how to get around them - if there is a loophole, I’m in it. I will say whatever words I need to say. If they delay in person again next week I’m ready to start meeting kids in the parking lot after school.

The ones i “snuck in” yesterday - were laughing. They don’t laugh online. I had a 16 year old boy say “it is really good to actually see you.” To his old lady teacher. They should be treating me like furniture - taken for granted and mostly ignored.

I made a mistake last week because I am so out of touch with them. Today I found out about the mistake and apologized. Interesting expression “out of touch” I feel like I just saw it for the first time.

my attendance today was awful. They come late, their cameras are “broken” their internet “logs them off” their sound “breaks up.” They don’t answer my emails.
