I am in process of responding to my HR file. It is not fun.
The file is shorter than it might be because after our confrontation I have rarely had to deal w/ her directly.
I was 100% aware then that the problem happened because I had 3 hours of sleep. In a different set of circumstance, I MIGHT have been been more quick thinking.

I remember that when I taught eighth graders, many days my goal was that no one was bleeding at the end of the day.

roflolol. for a short period, i subbed for kids around that age group, here. US eigth-graders are what, 13, 14? my eldest group were 13-14 they were not my worst group. mostly they just acted like apes, with each other and with the furniture. what worked were heavy implications as to how uncool ("babyish") this was... hehe did that ever do them in. uncool for that age is just not acceptable.
anything but uncool - even what the teacher says.
i had a terrible time however, with the 12-13 year olds ... possibly due to a parentally-sustained "bad element" in that class who, for e.g. drew and distributed porn, talked dirty, made faces, backtalked constantly - and was good at it, he was ON... teacher was a casual irrelevance. a successful day with them was where i felt at least one person learned something.
usually that happened. i also had a class of 11-12 year olds. they were fun. wilder, louder, but more controllable (mentally young enough to respond to standard discipline/threats thereof) - and fun.
but the first 2-3 days of subbing i came home wanted to rip all my hair and fingernails out and then bash my head in. and STILL, i did not not encounter physical violence/bleeding!!! that's ... yiikes!!!! i do not know how if i could have handled that!!! (((hugs)))
