They have left me in the dust.  They have tattled to the principal about every little thing I have ever done.  They are on the war path.  At least 2 of them are.  One of them of course is Monkey Poop.  She just cannot let the experienced person be the team leader.  She is right and I am wrong.

Yesterday, my class complained that they were always the last 4th grade class to go to lunch.  I asked the duty people and they said I pretty much sent my kids last most of the time.  Which means, I sent my class when they were supposed to go.  Sooooooo...since my class was being really good, I walked them down to the cafeteria 2 minutes early.  I expected them to be there before me.  They weren't.  My class got to go first!  We loved it.  So, I am eating my lunch in my room and in walks 2 of my team members. (Yes, MP!)  They wanted to talk to me.  They didn't like the way I took my class to lunch so early because it distracted their classes and they lost teaching time. (They couldn't close their doors?)   We're talking 2 minutes here.  I explained that my class said they never got to go first and they called me a liar.  So, I said, I guess I made a mistake. and I smiled at them.  They said Yes I did.  I didn't say anything after that.  so they left.

I was totally ticked off.  I was supposed to have a meeting with the principal after school anyway so I told her what happened.  She was appalled at the whole thing.  She suggested I go to lunch FIVE minutes early today and see what happened.  Heh, heh.  I did.  One of those teacher's kids all came in (before our actual lunch time) and one told me that we were at lunch too early.  I said it was OK.  I was staying with my class and talking about manners until it was time to go through the line. Their teacher didn't even bother to see if anyone was on duty. (There wasn't yet)

Where does this childishness come from?  I have never pushed my kids to be the first.  I have never been upset because Mrs. H stops my class so her class can come out of the room in front of mine.  I have just kept my mouth shut.  (Except here of course.  This is where I complain)  I don't understand this.  They both take their kids out to recess every single day.  4th grade is not suppose to have recess because of the minutes we are suppose to spend on reading and math.  Yet they do it anyway and then complain about not having enough time to do Science or Social Studies.  I just don't get it at all.

Monkey Poop has been absent almost 30 days this year.  I can't imagine why her kids are so poorly behaved.  They have absolutely no consistancy.  It isn't like we can get the same sub each time you know.

Oh, well, I won't be working with them next year anyway.
