Notably, there was one student whose parents had already contacted her before school had even started. This student&#8217;s behavior in first grade was challenging and his parents specifically requested a teacher who could shift his educational path to a more positive direction. My principal started talking me up\u2014she really knew how to work my ego\u2014so I eventually agreed: I was the best teacher for the job. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h5 style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The Student<\/span><\/h5>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fast forward to the first day of school. I finally locked eyes on the student that my principal had told me about. Everything about his body language was telling me that he&#8217;s not happy to be here. But, with my principal\u2019s encouraging words still floating \u2018round my big head, I knew there had to be something I could do.\u00a0<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I walk over to have a little one-on-one chat, to introduce myself and the fun we\u2019re all going to have. He looks up at me and replies, \u201cI don&#8217;t like it. I don&#8217;t like this school. I don&#8217;t have any friends here. I don&#8217;t want to be here.\u201d (At least he was honest.)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">After trying again, to the same response, I thought I should give this student some space. That\u2019s when he started involving the kids around him \u2013 I wasn\u2019t about to give that space. I attempted to get to the bottom of the problem, but before I knew it, this student slammed his hands on the table and took off running down the hall.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Now, of course, I took after him, but I couldn\u2019t just yank him by the arm. I had to cling onto his body and try to calm him down, while also thinking about all the emails I\u2019m probably going to get from these involved parents. As gently as I could, I explained that my number one job, above all, is to keep them safe and to keep the children in the classroom safe.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5 style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The Parents<\/span><\/h5>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">My words seemed to work, I had the student cooperating, but there was still a phone call I needed to make. So, I rang the father to explain what had happened. Now, I know I&#8217;m fortunate because this student&#8217;s father was super supportive and put his trust in me and my experience. This opened up clear and constant communication between all of us, and this student ended up having a great year in second grade. His family credited me and many other teachers for shifting their son\u2019s educational path in a positive direction.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><!-- .et_pb_text --><\/span><\/div>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><!-- .et_pb_column --><\/span><\/div>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><!-- .et_pb_row --><\/span>\n<div class=\"et_pb_row et_pb_row_7 et_pb_equal_columns\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et_pb_column_7  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et-last-child\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_7  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Now, this story isn\u2019t to brag but to highlight all the different hats I had to wear, without a second thought.
