Time Out!

So Mrs RC likes to keep to herself at class. Or so it seems. She always sits in the same spot and lines her walker up in a very precise manner. She sits kinda behind and to one side of the beam in the room. I don’t know why she does this as she is very hard of hearing and can be quite ‘fresh’ about it. Actually her behaviour is getting worse every week. She talks out of turn and quite loudly AND she yells at me all the time saying, ‘I can’t hear what you are saying’ and ‘well you are only speaking to them and not me.’ Everyone rolls their eyes and while I usually have lots of compassion, I’m about to join in on the eye rolling if things don’t improve.

Today Mrs RC took the cake ( I just wish she would have gotten up, taken the cake and left the building or at the very least, the room) when someone sat in the chair next to her. See, the chairs are staggered back and forth to allow room for arm movement. So, when someone sat in that chair the tirade started. ‘Well, look at her, with her back to me’ and so on. I stepped in and said Ms MM didn’t do anything wrong and that she’s just sitting in one of the chairs that was set up for class and that if she felt that she had been ‘backed out’ and if she felt left out of conversations then she should hustle her buns up to the front of the class. Everyone nodded in agreement and so she got up and moved her chair forward two inches. Progress…..I must remember to practice what i preach and breathe! Chill out Mrs RC! You are putting all redheads to shame:)
