too much punishment, etc.

Since teachers aren't allowed to hit the kids anymore, my school has had to be a little more creative with punishment methods.  It's become a lot more noisy in my hallway as a result - kids have to do more punitive yelling, apparently.  I think this hurts me more than it phases the students.  Anyway, what's worse than yelling is the cleaning - they've had the kids put some potent-smelling stuff on the floor and I feel sick from breathing the fumes.  I imagine the kids must feel worse than I do, since I'm sitting here in a room instead of out in the hallway itself.  Anyway, I wish they'd pick something non-toxic for the children to do, ha.

In other news, my co-teacher is humidifying our office by running an open hot water pot.  Pretty sure that is both against the manufacturer's instructions and almost totally ineffective.
