Student VB came in at 9:07 this morning. She was late; her teacher was absent and her class was split up. She didn’t come ask anybody where she was supposed to go. No, that would be common sense.
She went into the girl’s restroom. And hung out there until lunch.
She came out during lunch; my other grade partner saw her, but it didn’t occur to us that she wasn’t assigned anywhere (students were split between four sections; it had been a harrowing morning).
It took two students telling me, after lunch at 12:45 that VB had been hiding out in the bathroom all morning.
It took Grade Coach and Assistant Principal to drag her back to class. Her excuse? She didn’t know where to go.
You’ve got to be kidding me.
