Today was better, thanks to some helpful advice and perspective from my new therapist (who was told by Cigna that I had canceled my policy with them, which is patently untrue, just another ploy to keep from paying legitimate claims). Plus the fact that the middle school has had several fights this week and a healthy handful of my problem students are cooling their heels until TCAP.
And from the stories from my teacher friends at trivia, the whole system has had fights. I think it is spring, it is the stress of test anticipation, it is all kinds of things. Just that time of year, that stage of development etc.
And once that test is over, chaos will reign. Thankfully, that week will be a short one (Good Friday), and then begins the countdown to jury duty and the end of school. Which is a smoother thing than in the city - kids end on Thursday, teachers on Friday instead of bringing us back after Memorial Day. And most kids will have stopped coming to school that week, anyhow.
