Am sitting in my little bungalow this morning, checking into the SATERN and SAROF nets on HF radio. It's been so long since I've been on the national net on Saturday that they almost forgot my call sign! Not good!
Yesterday was an "interesting" day at school. The elementary school back behind the high school and middle school had to go on lockdown for awhile because an irate parent went ballistic, threatened the principal and pushed the superintendent. Don't know what the issue was, but this guy is a former student and one-time coach of ours. Guess he has a temper, huh?
Then, too, there was the issue of the bird in the Middle School... Apparently, a bird got in. A student caught it. Opened his hands to show it to the principal and whoosh! It flew off again. Guess it was finally re-caught and released to the outside. Poor thing had to be petrified!
Meanwhile, I've had several complaints of inappropriate remarks and name-calling originating from the same student. The young man is already in trouble outside of school, and it looks as though we are going to have problems keeping him on the straight-and-narrow on the inside. With things that have happened in our district and elsewhere, there will be zero tolerance for that sort of thing, and he may become a victim of that if he can't learn to control his comments... He isn't bullying, exactly...but what he is doing could be considered harassment. That's a no-no at any level in schools these days.
I will be heading up to babysit my grandchildren today and overnight. I have already received my travel instructions to bring "lots of fruit" from Robin. She is my little fruit freak!
Guess I should get moving here. One more set of nets to go...
