Rarely do I have specific stories about students - I always feel kinda guilty for talking about my students because they're only really interesting to tell stories about when they're being nutty.
As a class started this afternoon, one boy announced that his "butt itched real bad". A little distracting, but he then proceeded to stand up and wiggle around, and let us all know that his "butt was really itchin'".
I said, "sounds like a medical issue, do you need to see the nurse?"
Oh, yeah. He was on a role. Anything to keep us all off of task and not writing. So, while the antics continued, I wrote him a pass to the nurse and off he went. Thankyoujebus that the nurse wasn't actually at the school today... she doesn't seem to have much of a sense of humor.
This particular student is fairly notorious for making similar statements in his classes with female teachers to throw them off and establish his control of the classroom. The counselors had a good laugh when they heard; probably relieved that they don't have move him again. Itchy Butt has not learned the lesson about burned bridges and crossing the river again. However, in small school he is quickly running out of teachers to harass. I don't know I only got the "itchy butt" act, when others have been treated to more crude bodily references. But (no pun intended), I can't wait to see what tomorrow brings.
The honeymoon is definitely over.
