Meeting Your Match…

So today was my first day back with the kids after winter break. I was really happy to be back. But I was a little hesitant about what to expect. You see I was given the charge of taking over several of the 11^th grade English classes. The reason for this being that the students were so hellacious, that the previous teacher threatened to retire if she had them for second semester.  And thus I inherited a motley crew of teenage hooligans. But hooligans are my favorite, so I am happy! They make life so much more interesting. And really, I am a tough cookie to crack; I get down with the best of them. But today I met a child that very well may be my match. For whatever reason, he has decided that he is going to be a little punk. And by punk I mean that he acts like he has ADHD and is blind and deaf to anything said or done by an authority figure. Well, all I can say is bring it on honey! I will shove you in a corner of darkness and move on with class. I’m prepared for you. And besides, I have thugs to take of things if I need them;)
