Teenage drama, any advice?


I literary spent over an hour writing a post but it got deleted somehow when I was trying to categorized it. AHHHHHHHH…..
So this blog will be a short outline because I am very tired. The learning curve of a new blogger. List mania

Morning, Nanny:
– highlight (decorated a lamp shade for the baby girl with girlie flowers and critters) with tacky fabric glue
– funny (made a typical green smoothie, carrots, kale, cuties, apples, and berries) kids commented it looked like vomit and tasted bad, any ideas on kid friendly smoothies?


Daylight, Tutor:
-premise- charter high school, other tutor missing, I’m covering mine and her students
– girl teenager comes in with attitude, doesn’t want to do the work and disrespects me and continues with an awful attitude.
– disrespectful girl has a friend shadowing her at school, could be her showing off
– I ask the girl to leave the room she won’t
What do you do teachers when a student doesn’t leave the room?
A) call the office (classroom doesn’t have one, no luck)
B) ask other teacher if you or she can escort her to the office
C) redirect the student to be on task and do the work, second chance

I did A through C and it didn’t work. After-school the teacher said we couldn’t take her to the office because one of us would have to be with her. What? Also, Without the student present, she wrote up a report. There was no consequence for the girl’s behavior.

Reaction:
– feeling sorry for the girl
A) what’s her home life?
B) what will her future look like if she continues that behavior?
C) the lack of interest in reading for her reads a dismal future. NOT having the ability to read statically means a higher chance of being a criminal. Have you heard that?
D) relating the situation to my devotion. I learned God wants us to look at what he gives instead of what we’re getting.
-an opportunity to love her with a bad attitude
– extra cash with one less tutor= blessing
E) what is God giving you???? Look at that the next time instead of what you are getting.

Read Luke 12:25-34.
