This place is a soap opera

Interesting day.  I can say that because this time it wasn't me dealing with the drama.  Another teacher had a run-in with a couple of students.  It was serious enough that the teacher may not return next year.  Not because of the students, but because he got mad enough to quit.  Glad I'm not the only one thinking about that.  In another incident, we have a student (not one of mine), outrageous enough that he gets the dubious Fred 12 honor.  He has been making his teachers crazy since he arrived here.  Very flamboyant and outspoken.  I heard he even wrote something in the newspaper about how mistreated he is at school by the teachers.  He was making comments all day about getting students to attend the board meeting this week. He asked a teacher if they were attending and the teacher said no.  He then stated that he thought it should be mandatory that teachers attend.  Then he mentioned that our principal wasn't going to like what was decided at this week's meeting.  That he had already spoken to four of the board members and knew something about the fight policy and cell phone use.  I had a run-in with him earlier this semester when he was coming into the building through a door I and a student were exiting.  He almost knocked us down without as much as an I'm sorry.  I mentioned to the student that he didn't have manners.  He came back out the door and confronted me about what I said.  He stated, cockily that he did so have manners.  I replied that if he really had manners, he wouldn't have to tell people that he had manners.  He's been in so much trouble at the school, I don't know why he hasn't been sent off.  One of the few things I'm grateful for at this school is the fact that I don't have to deal with him daily.  Of course, if I go back next year, I will most likely have him.  Another reason to job hunt.  I hear they're hiring truck drivers.
