I got paid last night! I just got my salary (1/2 of Aug and all of Sept. less 5,000 from my advance) not my furnniture allowance. The salary is more than the furniture allowance so I will use that to get my apartment ready and just use the furniture allowance for other stuff. So, today is a shopping day! I get to go order my furniture and set up delivery times and get tons of things for the apartment. Getting a car may have to wait until Sunday because it's a huge process and they aren't open at all on the weekends.
What to say about school?? I did not have a good day at all yesterday, even in the morning. The points thing did not work with the group that I had in the morning. Why would they care about getting points when they can sit and talk all morning/afternoon long anyway? I am running out of ideas. I know I should stick to one for longer than a day, but it is so frustrating when it doesn't work. I do not like my job, but I can not let these girls win. I just don't know if I can wait them out. Everyone says it gets better with time, but how long do I have to wait for it to get better? And can I wait that long?
well yeah for payday!!!
ReplyDeletebut how frustrating with school! I am telling you- a yard stick on the desk! :)
What about seperating each of them from their peers. Out of the group setting.... even if you have to take the tables and put them in a corner and take just the chairs and spread them out over the room- all facing you. Or use the tables you have and arrange them, if you can, to only use one side- maybe a horseshoes shape kind of- so everyone is facing you at all times.
Then you could give points out for participation and have them work towards a special day on a Thursday and make it a "craft day" or "music day" or something like that.....
Great suggestions Nancy! Thanks for sharing. I have tried the separating but they just go wherever they want. I have tried just using chairs as well. I love the idea of a craft day on Thursday for those that behave. I will definitely try that one.
