Things I've Given Referrals For Recently

1. A student called me a "fucking bitch" because I asked him to take out his diamond earring. His punishment was to come back to the classroom and apologize. He said, "I'm sorry for calling you a FUCKING BITCH". So, he basically got to call me a fucking bitch twice with no consequence.

2. That same day, another student drew swastikas all over his desk. His punishment was to come and clean them off. He never came, so I ended up cleaning the desk.

3. Class was interrupted one day when a student decided to make loud moaning noises. He was sent to the office and warned about the severity of sexual gestures.

4. When the class was quieting down to take a quiz, a girl began to yell across the room at her boyfriend "You better shut the fuck up!" "Don't fucking look at me!!" "I'm gonna fucking slap you". I asked her to step outside, to which she replied "No". I asked her again, to which she replied, "You're not even going to fucking do anything about him?". After the third time, and with the encouragement of her classmates she left, not before yelling, "I don't care if you fucking give me a referral! All you fucking know how to do is give referrals!". When I joined her outside with the referral she was sitting on the ground putting lotion on her legs. She snatched the referral from my hands while continuing to cuss at me.

5. Two boys decided not to come to my class following a class with a substitute. I knew they were at school, so I had the office page them. They told the sub fake names so they wouldn't have to come to my class. When the office came to get them, they were sent back with referrals.

6. Today my class was lined up outside of my room, but I asked them to wait for 2 minutes while I ran to the bathroom. As I was running to the bathroom, one student yelled out, "ARE YOU GONNA SHIT??" When I came back, he was sent to the office.
