Spring is in the air

Ahhh... my first day back this week, and I'm already dreaming of the weekend. My kids have been suffering from cabin fever; apparently during the two days I was gone, they were stuck inside for every single recess and lunch break. This means that it now takes no more than a glance their way to get them in a tailspin. My classroom wasn't big enough to separate them all to different corners. Every ten seconds, somebody would whine "Stttoooooooopp!" to another student. No child was safe when my back was turned. The slightest provocation (intended or otherwise) would cause tears, whining, pouting, accusations, and chaos.
I'm so glad today is over. Now I can go home and whine....

Wow, I thought you were writing about the behavior in the teacher's lounge, but then I realized it was your classroom. At our school (here in Alaska) the kids are sent outside for punishment.

Yet another reason we'll remain childless for some time.
