Health Tests

Last weekend I had to go home, and my mum asked me to go to work with her for the afternoon. She is an aide in a behavior problem classroom at a local elementary school, and this gave me time to observe this type of classroom. Ironically, while I was there the teacher asked me to administer a health test to a student. This was such a challenge. When I asked hte studetn to start the test he said he had to go to the bathroom, so I said that when he was done with the front he could go. That was ok for a little while, but then he diecided to stand on his chair. Throughout the test he managed to take off his shoes, throw a pencil at me, and throw an eraser at me. I did not yell, but spoke to him rationally to get him to finish. Fianlly he did, and my mum told me that this was his behavior everyday because he did not get his medicine. It was so frustrating, but I guess that is what it is like in public schools.
