I dislike teaching today

Today I hated teaching. Some may think that 'hate' is a strong word; however, for those of you who would think that...come to my school. Come even just for a day. Then you will know what I am talking about. Yesterday was good. Today not so good. Yesterday all 14 of my students...actually 12 cuz two were absent...got to pick out of the prize bag. Today only 6 got to.

Girls fake being sick, boys using pencils as machine guns, death stares, crawling under desks RIGHT AFTER we talked about not doing it, rolling around on the ground, running out of the room, pushing each other across the room, shoving each other into puddles, talking through me, ignoring instructions, whining about not getting their way, crying because their cars aren't moved down on the chart, being asked to do something and saying "NO" back in my face, not getting off the ground when they are supposed to be seated in their seats, wandering around the room, using books as barriers, complete defiance. That is most of it...of course there is more such as being told im a "Stupid teacher" and a "mean teacher" and that he was going to tell his grandma that i was mean. I was also informed that one boy was not gonna listen to me anymore, he was only going to listen to the main teacher. I then informed him that that wouldn't work out too well for him since I would be teaching the class soon.
THANK GOODNESS IT IS FRIDAY TOMORROW!
