i received a paper with no name on it, which is a somewhat common occurance. there are usual suspects, and this instance was no different. the guilty party fessed up and i presented her with a choice. as a common offender, i told her she could either write her name 150 times, or redo the assignment.
she wasn't happy. she pouted. and pouted some more. after i gave her her options, she said "fine, i'll just do the assignment again." the assignment was writing 20 sentences using correct pronouns. so, as i proceeded with class, she proceeded with pouting. and laying her head down on her desk. and giving me the "i hate you" look. at the end of the day, i called her up to my area. i said "i am sorry i upset you, but you keep forgetting to write your name on your papers, and last time you had to write your name 100 times, so this time i chose 150. i am not mad at you, that's just the way it is."
then came the tears. i tried to console her, but she would have none of it. so, i felt bad. i know i was in the right, but i still feel bad that i let her down, or made her mad, or whatever.
so, i just thought i would tell who ever might read this (probably like 1 person).
but anyway, i'm sure she will get over it. 8/9 year olds have a tendency to forget things.
