covered the issue with admin. I will bet that the first time some
kid gets in trouble or hurt because he or she was out of eyesight or
earshot of a coach you will get more help in there.....even if it is
just another teacher from who they "buy" their conference period.

You have a good attitude about not caring whether you are liked by
the students. It takes 4 years to build a successful program. The
toughest year, by far, is the first year when the old methods are
still in their minds and disgruntled students are stirring the pot.

Some more advice: document every odd occurrence--every time a kid
gets attitude, every bump on the head that swells out, each time a
kid is not present in the middle of class.

Good luck and let us hear how things progress!
