Today I was a substitute teacher for a special needs kindergarten (five year olds). Their third day of school. Five boys. One teacher and an aide. I was an aide.
Two boys started fighting and it got violent. I broke it up by literally getting between them and pulling the smaller guy away.
And the smaller guy was still in combat mode. He repeatedly kicked me in the right shin. At least 20 times. Punched me. Scratched me. Hit me on the head and in the face.
I had to get him down the hall to the remedial crisis teacher. Still kicking me even when I was behind him.
I filed an Incident Report with the school Nurse.
I'm limping. Four big black-and-blue marks on my shin. It's really sore.
Other than that, with the exception of one of the five boys, all the children leaned towards throwing miniature cars at each other, constantly overturning chairs at desks, throwing things on the floor, turning off the lights, shouting, running in the classroom, and more.
My head is still spinning and I just took X-tra Strength Advil.
