A visit to the principles office!!
In my class we have a little girl who from what I have observed has Oppositional Defiant Disorder. If you tell her to sit she stands, walk she runs, she always seems to be off in her own little world, and seldom participates in any of the classroom activities or lessons. Don't get me wrong, she can be a total sweetheart sometimes, but most days are a pretty big struggle with her. Last week she had not only put my CT over the edge, but the art teacher as well. In response to this my CT asked me to walk her down to the principles office. This sounds like an easy task but when I got there he proceeded to ask me tons of questions about her behavior and what was going on! I was totally caught off guard and sounded like a complete fool I'm sure. They were not just simple questions either, he wanted the details! It was super intimidating because he expected answers out of me, but I didn't know how to word them or what was and wasn't relevant to him! After what seemed like an eternity, which was only about 5 min in actuality, he finally dismissed me back to my classroom! Even though I wasn't in trouble, I got my first experience with being sent to the principles office!

Wow. That sounds like a tough situation. Some kids know really how to push buttons and act up. A kid in my class called the para a stupid b-word. Then he said he didn't say it, but a few people heard it. I was fortunatly not there in the classroom and didn't not have to get involved. The parent believed the child did not say that and it was a hard case to discipline.
