I caught one of my favorite students cheating today. Twice. And she has started sassing me. I am one ticked-off mother hen. Trust is an interesting thing. She has always been one of my most reliable and helpful students. She was in my class last year, and when I moved up a grade, I kept her on purpose because she helps me out so much. She loves helping. I don't want to give consequences, because it will hurt me too. It kills me that I feel like I can't rely on her anymore. We will be having a little chat in the morning about her recent escapades and I will be firing her from her class job. She loves filing papers in my office. But...I can't have an untrustworthy student in my office, now can I? Grrrrrr. I'm sure there will be someone else willing to do it...for a reward. Grrrrrr. Maybe she is just growing into those ridiculous hormonal years and she feels like she needs to be cooler or prove something or pretend like school is horrible like the
