What Happened??

All my little angels turned into little terrors over night! They were all at least 30 minutes late for class today. They wouldn't listen. They wouldn't sit still. I tried to play a game with them and they all started fighting! Then I'm going over their ABC's and I see the boys talking on a cell phone. They are 7 years old. Where in the world did they get a cell phone? And who does a 7 year old need to call? I had to yell at them and take it away. Of course, they don't know what I'm saying so I can't reason with them. Now they are all mad at me. The kids in the house are sitting at the other end of the hall not speaking to me. Today I'm the mean teacher. I didn't give them candy after class.Tonight we're having a long family meeting at dinner about the appropriate way to behave in the classroom. Ms. Carrie is very upset!.... Jesus give me strength.These kids are going to give me a stroke!

Lesson of the day : Children are children no matter what country they are from.

I still love them though. I can see their potential. I just need to make them see it some how. They can be so much more then  block makers or laundry ladies. They are the future leaders of this country. Lord give me the patients and the authority to guide them, because they deserve the best I can give.
