You guys. <3
Ugh work was ridiculous. One student I have is a terror for me, but he's good (most times) with one other teacher. Anyways he got out of control yesterday with her and kicked his desk for 80 minutes straight and did nothing in her class. So now she finally sees what I'm talking about. So we are trying to get him in some behavioral plan to see if that works. Otherwise he'd have to be reevaluated n get sent to a more restrictive school because we don't have emotional disturbance classrooms we only have learning disability ones.
But yeah those emotional disturbed kids are the worse. My co teacher said a student threw a book at her. This is the same student, during my observation, that I had to walk away from because she was having a meltdown because I told her she is working by herself after calling all the kids in the class "retarded." Lol I can't.
Where's the booze?

@Funerary_Doom So...on top of living in one of the most aggravating cities in the U.S., you have to deal with this shit. That sucks.

I feel your pain Funerary_Doom!
I'm at a school at the minute where behaviour is rarely an issue, although there is obviously low level disruption that needs to be addressed. But sometimes they come out with the most ludicrous things that you don't even know how they've come to that conclusion! I wasn't in this class, but I heard about one where a student was ordering fractions and they said that 5/8 was smaller than 1/8 because it's furthest away from zero in the negative direction. Like what? I don't even.

@Talos of Atmora Yep. Thank god for summers off. Behavior is pretty bad here... I thought it was going to be better but the emotionally disturbed kids are a force to be reckoned with.
@Phylactery
no idea what that student was thinking. but shit at least your kids could do fractions! mine cant do fractions or decimals... they barely know their times table. I asked one of my students what 5*2 was and she said 8...

Nothing involving cunty little kids. I can't even do customer service so maybe I'm just a horrible asshole.

if it was -5/8 and -1/8 they'd be right, they just were confused about the new (to them) concept of negative numbers maybe. That's not so bad, at least they were trying to apply concepts they've learned. I've seen worse.

1/4 is bigger than 1/2 because 4 is bigger than 2 is my favorite example.

Yes but they weren't negative fractions which means they've picked up some misconception somewhere that all fractions are negative.
A common issue when ordering decimals is they say that the one with the most digits is bigger. So for example, 0.258 is smaller than 0.1123 or something.

Tell her if she does not go home and learn the multiplication chart, she's going to make and serve quarter pounders with fries everyday until she's dead, in the Ghetto.
