: Sometimes I wonder if I'm being tested more than the students are.
Well, last night was interesting.
I had quite a small class after the threat of rain and massive flooding... which didn't happen... Only three students came, all eligible for testing. So it turned into an advanced belt cram night. And my autistic student had quite a meltdown. I've never seen him act like that.
It was a lesson in patience, in teaching methods... I finally did get him to calm down and work on at least part of his form, by breaking it into smaller pieces. And I finally did get his father, who I can imagine was extremely embarrassed, working on other things and not caught up in the situation. I think the night was harder on him than it was on me.
Everyone has good days and everyone has bad days. I know I do.
Oh great... NOW it's raining...
