Hey Mr. Darden....you look good today!
But Mr. Darden looks good EVERY day!
Well, I did everything I said I would!
Got up at 6am, did my thing checking emails, doing some promoting, etc. Took my shower, got all spiffy and shit.
Sidenote: GOT DAMN MARION BARRY'S SON LOOK GOOD! I swear, it's that Effie in him, cuz Marion don't look like nothing but a black Darwin nowadays.
So yeah, I went to work in the nacy blue suit, blue shirt, red tie, black tenchcoat, talking to HIM on the way. I told him walking through my neighborhood must sound like I live on Sesame Street.....I mean, I don't think it's all THAT welcoming a place, but I like to say hi to everyone on the street. It's up to me to make this neighborhood more welcoming....but I digress.
It was a brief phone call. He was still on the train when I got to school. Of course every damn body was like "Oooooooh Mr. Darden, you look niiiiiiicccceeee...." And I'm all thank you and shit, and then of course everybody is like "So where you going after work?" LOL
It's funny how people just KNOW I can't be dressed up for work, lol. But I told everybody hey, it's 2005, I gotta step the game up! Let these fourth graders KNOW that Mr. Darden is about bidness, dammit!
I had to make an example of this lil boy first thing in the morning....he was the victim of my second strike. First strike, verbal warning -- second strike, your ass is going to write me a four paragraph essay about WHAT you did, WHY you did it, HOW it affected others, and HOW you plan to change.
Lil boy ain't like that too much. But hey, feel the wrath!!!!
Another girl lost her recess and had to do the same thing.
A THIRD girl got the THIRD STRIKE! She acted like she didn't want to write her essay, so I said OH YEAH? And I wrote her up something GOOD. Sent a note to the office, then sent her. Later, the principal came to the room and gave a brief lecture about CHANGE. I appreciated that. I think he got the note and was like OH LAWD LEMME STOP THIS FORE MR DARDEN SEND THE WHOLE CLASS DOWN. I think his speech did some good.
All in all, it wasn't a bad day! It wasn't easy, but I kept the kids adequately engaged and properly disciplined.
And at 3:30pm, I was out, cuz I AIN'T GOT TIME!!!!
:-D
