frustrated

So on 10-29-12

I was astonished and finally hit with reality and ALMOST wanted to run away from this profession.  Not because of the lower level behavior problem students, or because it is not yet my classroom.  But because the superintendent.  My teacher co-teaches with another student and they work hard with the students in their classroom.  They do not believe in detention because they believe it causes resentment and makes it more difficult to create a learning experience.  We were ready House on Mango Street and the superintendent and principal walked in, through class, which students became off task.  I was writing on the board and in a personal email to my teacher, the superintendent said that I had misspelled a word and how it was frustrating for him.  He said that I had no space between A and lot, in which I did.  I typed it in word, it automatically spaces if not given a space, and pops up red if re-edited.  I do not understand why I received a hit simply because my teachers did.  He also said that the students were rowdy, but these are behavior students, they were quietly reading along, asking questions, this was normal classroom behavior.  He also said that they were not engaged, but if we are reading a book, how engaged can they really get, while reading...?  My teachers were both so upset about the review that affects them, that neither will teach behavior students next year.  Is this the solution to knock teachers, who try and are stressed out but still come in everyday ready to teach?  WHY is our system so broken?  The only other solution the school seems to have is suspend them----NOT the solution.  When they are suspended they are not allowed to make up any work, AGAIN the WRONG answer!!!!!!!!!
This profession sucks, but I love the students
