All

Class,

I am extremely disappointed in news I have just heard. I find it VERY disrespectful when I am at a PD all day FOR YOU, for US and I am contacted by the office and OTHER TEACHERS who inform me of the behavior of my classes. I am here FOR YOU. I am learning how to be a better teacher FOR YOU. I am learning how to prepare YOU for the ISAT, for 8th grade, and for high school.

I have been told SPECIFIC students who are acting extremely disrespectfully and to be quite honest with you, I am ashamed. It is one thing to act a certain way with me. It is WRONG to disrespect the teacher when I am gone. 

You are disrespecting me, our classroom, Pickard, and most importantly, YOURSELVES when you act this way. If this is you and you know who you are, I would change my actions NOW.

If you have been doing the work that I have left, and YOU feel that this message doesn't apply to you, then I thank you for acting appropriately and making me proud. You guys are the students that I am proud of.  The rest of you have embarrassed me and I am ashamed. 

This is all. Now get to work.
