Oh good. I'm so happy. It's Friday. It's been a week. Let me tell you. It's been a week. So we're yes. Yes. I'm on the road traveling from my shows all over the place getting ready to come Loki to Australia. It's gonna be super fun, but we're perfecting everything here in the States before we bring it to you guys. So just Staying busy staying busy. Let me tell you there is nothing low-key about your visit in the T start office. People are so excited and I can't wait. It's going to be so fun. So yeah, we can't wait to see you in a little while, you know, sometimes it's a bit hard because you feel like, you know, we love all of our students and where that a nurture them and help them with their social learning and the way they interact with people, but at the same time they are just kids and sometimes They're a challenge. So how can you think of any times that you've had a super challenging student? I have you know, you really teaching such a gamble. It's different than so many jobs. I think that like teachers and zookeepers have a very similar job because it's just so so different every single day and you really never know what's going to happen. And sometimes you also know what you'd whatever is going to come into your classroom, either and You guys ever have like classroom assemblies where maybe like instead of going on a field trip an organization or a company will come and do something for you to ever have that we call them in incursion. We have a word for that incursion only incursion. I like that. I like I'm gonna use that so we had it we have we have many incursions here. Some of them are great. Some of them are okay, but one of the ones that I always liked is the city that I worked in at the time would come and do Into the classroom about various topics that were going on within the city. So one of the biggest one is Recycling and how we can wear our recycling goes where trash goes for the city where those plants are how the how the waste is all treated and I and all that I was it's really educational for the kids because you know, it's something that they're involved with their within a single day, but these people who are leading the incursions are typically not teachers and they're not And how to work with students. So a lot of the time I find myself like half handling the situation you don't know me so they come in and they're talking to us about trash and how we can help protect our environment better by picking up the trash and I have one student who eventually was diagnosed with odede in a defiant disorder, right? And he decided that this was his moment to take full advantage of the situation so they start asking what ways can you Think of to help keep our world claim and he raises his hand and they pick on him and I'm just like oh God, here we go. He does have criminals do it have criminals have criminals pick up our trash. They were like what? He's like, yeah just like have the criminals go around and they're like, can you think of anything better? And he's like, why don't fart white all your trash on fire and he just kept coming up with ways after ways after ways of these like super main ways and the woman didn't know what to do and she started crying. Crying in front of the kids in front of everyone. Yeah, and I was just like I just like I was like listen girl. Give me your materials. Give me your lesson plans on your notebook. I'ma teach the rest of this house today. You just go You Weep these tears out in your car baby girl because you need a when you're ready to come back when you're ready to come back. I'll show you how this is done. But for right now you need a break. There's two dead. She took me up on it and I taught the rest of the last that I had absolutely no idea and Is what I was teaching but we kind of like went for it and it sort of sort of went down like that. See that's why we need to know how to use behavior management strategies as teachers. Like they come alone. I know you know, what I will flee to the funny thing about that too is do you guys have PBIS over there? Do you do PBIS Saddam positive behavior intervention support? Okay. Yes. We do have something similar. Yeah. Yeah. It's like this thing. That's kind of really like blah blah. Ah, very very very in the happenings right now over here in the state. And I think that there's I think it's great. I think it does a lot for kids and I think that you know, it does a lot for a certain type of kid like the kid who is receptive to that type of intervention but talking about classroom management what a lot of people don't think about is what we differentiate our instruction to beat the meet the needs of our learners, but we don't often differentiate our classroom management to meet the needs of everyone's behaviors because not everyone is going to respond the same way. Yeah, and this is just another example of that Like This Woman's way to treat this was to have a break down and cry, you know, but like I knew how to handle him in a different way that would get him redirected and back on track which was different than just like one two, three eyes on me or whatever because he would have walked all over me for that. Yeah, that's right. And especially a child who has a diagnosis of oppositional Defiance disorder. They they're kind of wired in a way that is not going to respond to a whole group instruction because that's the whole point. Of OD D that they go against the grain a little bit. So they're not going to respond to your behavior management strategies that work for everyone else. So exactly good point. Yes. Oh, yeah, cool. Well, I'm glad you saved the day Mister D swooped on in save the day that poor woman. I wonder if she hung up the boots and retired that very day. It will say she would probably went back the recycling plant. I don't know. She's probably sorting Plastics at the moment. Yes. I think I hear her now in my garage. Judge. All right.
