I have a kid. Let's call him Merlin. He's been a pain all year. Today, he was given a warning that if he got any more referrals this year, he would not be able to attend the end of the year party that we have (which is really fun). I did not know that he had been told that.

Then, he came to my class and proceeded to ignore every single expectation all class period. I opened up a new email and started keeping a log. From refusing to sit in his assigned seat, to repeatedly punching his friend in the arm, to refusing all assignments (even fun things like a Blooket), I just wrote it all down. When he said, "Stop talking to me, bitch" when I asked him to keep his hands to himself, I sent it.

The principal was in my room in minutes and SHOWED HIM MY EMAIL. It was literally just a list of his behaviors, no exaggeration or commentary, but now he's really, really mad at me. He can't go to the party and, according to him, it's all my fault. He takes no ownership over his behavior. He was near tears and yelling in the hallway about "that bitch," which is probably me (or the principal, but probably me).

2 class periods left with him.

Edit: I don't feel bad or guilty, I'm just surprised at how emotional he's being about this considering the consequences were clearly explained to him by admin. He's so very angry at me, but he knew that he was on super thin ice and continued to ignore rules.
