*A student of my stole a lot of candy out of the podium and couldn't comprehend why he got written up for it. "But you wouldn't get arrested for stealing candy out of a store." Really? I mean, really? That's his rationalization for theft?
*During a class activity that required leaving the classroom, a student of mine continually misbehaved in the hallways. After about 15 minutes of telling him making loud and weird noises in the hallway and asking him to walk instead of run or crawl or jump, I turn around and he's swinging from a doorway. He could not comprehend why his behavior warranted a write-up. Really?
*Sometimes the amount of times I have to repeat things is INFURIATING! Wait… I mean all the time.
*Sometimes the literal inability to retain anything in the middle school mind is INFURIATING!
