Im Going Crazy

I don't know where to begin. These kids are driving me insane. I think I am going to have an ulcer before the school year is over. At this point, I have stretched myself thin as a teacher. I have gone above and beyond the call of duty. Now, its time for these kids to step up to the plate. Gave a test on Friday, 6 kids had to retake it due to their horrible performance. Did they study? NOPE. Did they know they had a retest on Monday? YEP. Did they call me to ask for help like I instructed them to? NOPE. I am the test maker therefor the best person to call about a test is the test-maker. I was sooo frustrated today. Don't even get me started over the homework that is not being turned in. Of course, the students who are not turning in homework are also the ones doing poorly on my test. I cannot deal with this laziness. Time to call some parents.
