Can you believe it?
I've always known that our lovely state is the ONLY one that attends school during the month of June, but really! I'm starting to feel it this year. We will be attending school this particular year until June 23rd!
Whoa Nelly! I know! I know! Isn't that late?
Right now most of the kids have mentally checked out. The office (where I work) has a revolving door for the misbehaved. We have 5 little designated areas where we can 'hold' the bad behaviors. Recently, we've been finding that the 5 little designated areas aren't enough. We need an overflow room!
I think some of the teachers are ready to check out too. Students have been sent to the office for tiny infractions, but I assume the teachers are starting to feel the weariness of the school year, most especially when the temps are starting to get up near the 80's. The rooms feel like stuffy, little cubicles.
I remember while growing up and being in school during the month of June! It felt like you were breathing everyone else's air! Ugh! That's what this week has felt like!
Recently in the office, we've attended to a habitual screamer, a dirty talker, a toilet plugger, and two boys who are friends that were throwing food in the cafeteria at each other. Every single one of those students was a boy! Imagine that!
We have a boy who has a broken ankle. We have another boy who has a broken femur. Yikes! Boys and springtime/summertime! Now, I'm not bashing boys, I have one myself, thank you very much! They are just.....well.....more active, more troublesome, in some respects.
I really shouldn't complain! No, we could be dealing with drugs, knives, beatings, or other such things.
But all in all, June 23rd can't come quick enough. My solution would be to X out the whole month of June on the school calendar, but I guess the state doesn't see it that way! So, we have 10 days left and I'm most certainly counting!

I don't think it's June that does it. We've been out since May 21st and the last month our kids were on overload as well. I think it's just the end of the year that does it. We're all tired of looking at each other and the inside of a schoolroom.
Or maybe it's the 80 degree temps that do it.
Around here we have a lot of girls on crutches but, yeah, most of the bad behaviors are boys--year round!
