Some of the fifth graders like to come hug me and tell me they want to be in my class next year. Today, one of Charity's students did this. She asked if I could request that she be in my class. I tried to look regretful as I said no, but I was grinning on the inside. This girl is a pathological liar; at her old school she claimed her teacher hit her, which was a total lie. She is a bully as well as a liar; just the kind of girl you don't want in your class. Then, one of my students spoke up and said, "Miss B can't request you, but you can request her! That's how I got in her class!" The girl's face lit up and she said, "That's what I'm going to do!"
I had been thinking about maybe staying at my school for one more year because I'm so happy there. But I don't know if I could handle a year with this girl. I think I should stick with my plan of transferring to the middle school.
Also, today I was listening to music while the kids were at art. One of them walked in while I was listening to "It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp." He just about died laughing. After art, they were all singing it. The worst part was, when I told them it wasn't appropriate for them to be singing about that subject matter, they said, "But you were listening to it!" Tomorrow I will go back to country music.
