My life crossed over into the truly bizaare today....
Professionally.....I had a 4th period student today (male) who I had to send off to the administration because he was.....pleasuring himself in the back of the room. I spoke to the asst. principal who informed me that he had been removed from his 1st period for the same thing and had been caught doing so on the bus a few days ago. After 20 years of teaching its interesting that I can still experience something new, lol.
On the personal front, I have been laying the groundwork for winning any potential custody dispute. It was suggested that showing W as having a consistant pattern of unstable relationships and problematic behaviors would significantly help my case. To do that I have been trying to get a clear picture of her history. I knew that her first husband had been killed in an auto accident a few years ago and had been trying to find his widow. I found her today. She said he didn't talk a whole lot about his first marriage (to my W) but he did talk about a few.....things. She told me that before he and my W could get married, he had to sleep with W's mom "so she could be sure he would be a good husband for her daughter". I almost dropped the phone. W has denied that there was any sexual abuse even though she is a textbook case and then I am told this and......oh my, I don't think there is any question now. Now I just have to figure out what to do with all of this.
How's all that for a bizaare day at the office? LOL
Stand up for what is right, even if you are standing alone.
