Pep Band

This may be a bit of scatter-brained entry. My brain has thousands of things going on right now...

Let's get one thing out there right now....I HATE PEP BAND. I really, really, really hate pep band. College pep band was great. It's high school pep band that I can't stand. We've just had 2 1/2 snow days. And it's Friday. All they want to do is goof off. I hate to think what my JH band is going to be like in a few minutes. And they're all cranky today. I told my study hall kids they had to have something to do today, or they were going to be doing filing work for me. One said, "We're not your SES (student workers) students, so we don't have to." She went to the office. Another had nothing to do, so after several go-rounds of telling him that he had to come into my office and get to work, he said, "I don't need to do your crap." This kid has NEVER mouthed off to me before. To the office he went as well. I'm beginning to think there's something in the water in this town. All the kids are rude and mean to all the adults they interact with. I totally don't get it. Whatever happened to students showing their teachers respect? I know it's an isolated day, and not all days are like this, but these days really make me not want to teach anymore.
