After another day with Mrs. J, I began to realize just how much nagging, and lost of instructional time there is due to disciplinary actions. Once again when the students came back from lunch D was in trouble. This time when I approached him, he was even more upset the day before. We began to discuss his behavior. At first I was very disappointed in the fact that I felt as though maybe my method had not worked. During the entire time I was talking with him, he responded with, “Yes Miss Harrison” and “no Miss Harrison”. I was shocked; this was not typical behavior from him.
After thinking about what was occurring, I came to the realization why D never seems to be able to control his behavior. I have watched this student try, and with every attempt there is an aspect that does not meet the requirements of the aide in the room. She constantly nags, gripes, and picks not only at D but several other students. Personally I would not want to try to do anything if no matter what I did I was still being griped at. I talked to my teacher about this issue, and I was told that her hands are tied. Mrs. J also told me that if I wanted to attempt to get through to D, I was more than welcomed to. She cautioned me, warning D was not as innocent as he proclaims and behaves when I am around. My feelings on this are I will try.

Interesting that the teacher doesn't feel she controls how the aide treats the students. Why? If school was a place to get nagged all of the time, I might scream at lunch.
