3. You must teach in a pretty interesting in between kind of
school really - in some schools doing what you did would get your
tires slashed on a good day and one angry teenage girl coming at
you the next day when slashing your tires hadn't expelled enough
of her negative energy. You're clearly not going for a learning
environment but your kids can be sufficiently controlled - with
parent help - to sit still.

I have to completely agree with you. I remember back in highschool
I attended summer school for failing my science class due to
indifference to the subject and my concentration on my hobby i
took professionally; dance. Anyways, there was this one teacher,
by the name of, "Ms.Ho" who told me i cannot take her summer class
because i got lower than a 50 percent. She said it in such a mean,
tone. It really stuck with me, i was annoyed. I talked to my
school administraton and they said it was fine for me to take her
summer class. I have told her this, and she just said, "that's
fine" in mean tone once again. During this time...i befriended a
boy which really, really liked me. I told him the story about the
how whole story of the teacher using "that tone" with me for no
apparent reason and that it hurt. He asked me the number of the
classroom i was staying in..i asked why he wanted to know...he
didn't tell me but nevertheless i gave him the number of my
classroom. So in the middle of the science lecutre the speakers go
on in our class (he must have dialed in to that class)...and that
same boy who liked me started to put her down in every possible
way. For e.g. Ms. ho, get on your knees...brush your teeth
after...blah blah blah you get the jist. She was nearly near
tears...(inside i felt like i defeated her) i was smiling..i felt
like she deserved every bit of it. This has been going on for a
week and one time she bursted out crying and said, "who knows
about this? i will fail you all" ...she went to the principle and
began to investigate. They saw in the camera that i am hanging
around this boy quite a lot during breaks and decided to test the
situation by calling in that boy (they didn't know it was him for
sure) and said why he's doing this....and he replied he had no
idea what they were talking about. But then the principle decided
to lie and said, "your little girlfriend confessed to everything".
He was shocked and never talked to me again until recently...and i
really liked him. That was a prick principal..anyways, "Ms.Ho came
to class the next day announcing that she knew who was behind all
this...and there will be a consequence..(my heart was racing
really fast) she told me to stay in and talk to her. In a very
upsetting and shakey voice she said, "did you get mad at me
because i wouldn't let you take my class in the beginning"? BINGO!
she knew exactly well she was a prick to me, yet was still mean.
That makes me think...what made her so mean to me? So i agree with
you, you should be very careful with kids...they are very gentle
individuals with feelings...and you might just be in for it if
you're not careful. lol :)
