At the end of the day Friday ...

I got a little message ... due to a restructuring of the special education department, on Monday I am getting a whole new class ... except for the farter and 3 behavior problems (lovely kids, but nonetheless difficult ones). They get to stay with me and I lose the kid who stayed with me at lunch (who shed a tear (seriously) when I told him Friday after school that he wasn't on my new list. "But Ms. Matthews, who will come pick me up in the morning? Who else would walk me out of school at the end of the day to make sure I'm not going to get beat up? What am I gonna do without you?" I think he wasn't the only one with tears in his eyes). SIGH.
