Something that happened this afternoon
I´ll tell you what can be really frustrating. When I feel like some kid is making fun of another kid, but I´m not quite sure, and I don´t know exactly what he´s saying. I really wish I knew exactly what was said, and had the capacity to discipline this kid in a specific and effective way. Unfortunately, I don´t and have to resort to telling the offender to go away (from the computer lab, where this took place) and ensure that the other student is not too upset about it. I hope at some point this year, I´ll be able to understand them enough to at least know what´s going on all the time.

I do appreciate your concern for what it appeared was happening and the effect on the student being made fun of. That compassion and concern will carry you far. There are always frustrations with learning new things but you will get it in the long run. Keep up your good attitude and your care for the kids.

I understand your dilema. The spanish speaking kids in my class talk amongst eachother and sometimes make fun of other kids. If your gut tells you they are being out of line, they probably are. Call them on it. They will respect you more and know they can't get away with that kind of crap in front of you.
