"You're Disrespecting Me"
I can already tell this is going to be a great day.  By 9:30 A.M. two students have already been suspended. The first kid is upset because the teacher asks him to have a seat and get ready to work after the announcements and he refuses to do so. Instead, he tells the teacher that he doesn't have to sit down and he can do whatever he wants to do. As the teacher continues to "reason" with him he begins yelling and tells the teacher she is disrespecting him. He then pushes the teacher and runs out of the classroom.   Of course it doesn't stop there .  Once he runs out of the building the assistant principal and I walk the hallways trying to find the student.  We quickly find the student standing outside of his classroom.  I radio the office to call the student's parents.  We are able to talk the student into coming with us to the office.  We really have to be careful how we approach this situation because this student has run from us before and on a few ocassions attempted to leave the campus.   I was just not in the mood to chase students down today.  Not to mention the fact that the other hundreds of students are being neglected right now.
