Today, one of my students had her last day in my program. I really hated to see her go. That is one of the bad things (for me) about my program–I don’t get to have students all year most of the time, and so just when I’m getting attached, they leave! Sometimes it’s difficult for them to leave as well. As a small group, sometimes they form some pretty tight bonds. When I told her that I hated to see her leave, but that I was also glad she was going on to better things, one of the boys said, “Yeah Miss, you want us to have to stay here and suffer in County like you do!”
Interesting that the kids see me as a teacher who is being punished by her placement. This is not the first time it has come up.

Even kids in regular high schools move around a lot these days.It’s hard to get adjusted to a class–then someone leaves.
