Big fat bump
So, I'm having an issue with my kids. I'm 99% sure one of them gems stole my test book (ya know, the tests that come with the textbook so the teacher doesn't have to make one up). I wasn't planning on using them anyway, execpt for maybe to take a few questions. But I've very dissapointed and upset and furious at the same time that a 7th grader would steal the test book the less than 5 min they were unsupervisied by me (during the change of classes when I have to stand outside in the hall is the only time I'm not in the room with them or the door isn't locked).
I think whats bothering me as well, is I'm only 99% sure. There are doubles of every other book (ie, lab exercises, overheads, review pages, etc) except for that one. And I'm pretty sure that I was gonna throw the old one out this summer cause I got a brand new one but I kept the old one for some reason.
What makes me think one class did it, though, is that 2 classes I made the announcement to were visiably upset and reacted to the statement. One class stared blankly at me and didn't bat an eye or have anything to say. So that just seems odd.
Anyone else have things go missing? How did you get them back? Anyone ever hear of a class not having a reaction before?
I talked to my mentor and some other teachers at lunch about it, but I just figured I post here to see what some other thoughts are. I get to sit down with my VP tomorrow and discuss it.
