Today, I was called a "bitch." (Sorry, Prof B for that....) See, my regents classes were doing a project for their book Right Behind You. They had to do a summary, do some quotes, and other things of that nature. One student in my period 8 class seems to be emotionally and mentally disturbed. I told him he had to turn in his project that day. He did not. He called me a "bitch" because I assigned the project with little time to do it and I expected students in high school to do work over the break.
Nothing irritates me more than having a student call me something I don't deserve. I hate it when people don't like me. I hate when I'm not given a change to show who I am. He just shut me out and it hurt. I didn't cry in the classroom. I had the support of my cooperating teacher, which was a great thing.
What do educators do when students call them rude and obscene things such as a "bitch"?
