a long long day

another one of em 11-7 days. but today the principal had to leave early and she left a 'special child' ,whom she handles, with me. he's 6 and we suspect he is autistic, but his parents don't think there's anything wrong with him. i know its hard for parents to deal with the fact that their child may not be 'normal' but when he bites and scratches his friends, threathens to beat them with his chair and also says he wants to "kill them", i think the parents are being unfair not only to their child-who obviously isn't getting the kind of attention he deserves- but also to the school and the parents of his peers.

my mother teaches special kids from home so i kinda knew what to expect. ivan (as in the terrible) was relatively calm in my class but it left me completely drained. i can't tell u how glad i am that tomorrow's friday. and that my tuition kid decided to sleep in and couldn't wake up in time for class.
