Observations of a High School Sub-Arrested

I had a tough day yesterday with my class. Some of them were really off kilter... and we had been making such progress. They were not engaging and disrespect had to be addressed. I was really hoping for a better day today. And actually, the girls were all very good. In fact we had a great day together. But I was missing a few. I found out they had gotten into a fight after school yesterday and they were arrested. My heart sank.
I guess they were off kilter all day & night...knowing this fight was coming!
Theses girls have so many strikes against them, one of the students arrested is already a mom and she is only in the 10th grade... that's right I said 10th grade! Their social skills are so underdeveloped. I hope they get to come back to school, I don't want my last day with them, to really be my last day with them. However, they will continue in my prayers
