Michael Jordan has had a terrible week. I just don't get it. When things get better for him academically, his behavior messes up. It kills me. Yesterday, his mom was out of town and the cousin he was staying with forgot to give him his medicine. He walked in my cussing and trying to fight. He was loud and disrespectful. When I got on to him, he ran out of my classroom. He came back in I isolated him. He continued to be loud. I went to talk to him. I told him I needed him to be good and be quiet. I explained that even though he didn't have his medicine, I knew he could behave. He grabbed my face and started rubbing my hair telling me he would do better. He came back to my table. He stayed with me for 3 hours. His teacher sent his work to him and he completed all of his assignments. Right before I sent him back to his room, he sat in my lap, told me loved me, and played with my hair. Everything he had done all morning was wiped away. I love this kid.
Today, he was caught shooting someone a bird. He was suspended and was terribly upset. He wanted me to call his mom and tell her not to whoop him. HA! I explained that I would not do that because he was shooting someone a bird and that wasn't nice. This kid is too much!
