All things considered, I had a very relaxing, long weekend with Jan.
Of course, I'm especially glad for it, as, when I came to school, I was greeted by the sight of two of my students pulling a third violently into the girls' washroom.
I interrupted them, and found Katrina and Joey, standing over Felix, blood trickling down their noses. Felix was struggling to crawl away from them.
"You have to stay still. It's the rules." I heard Katrina say softly, before I interrupted them.
Once I had the Nurse take a look at them, I made sure they were taken to the Principal.
As expected, though, they weren't punished, beyond a calm and slightly amused lecture that had more to do with boys being in the girls' room than anything else.
The children are shunning Felix, now.
He's begging them not to. He's not sitting with Joey and Katrina, but the others are giving him just as wide a berth. He claims to not have cooties. But they're not believing him. At Recess, as I'd feared, they're fleeing from Joey and Katrina...but they're fleeing from Felix, too.
The poor kid looks miserable. I wish there was something I could do about it, but the other teachers are almost as bad as the principal.
