My class had this one kid in it that I had to deal with all week who is a straight up bully and screams in my kids faces and I finally reached my final straw and had him removed from my class.
Anyway, I was furstrated and the kids were at lunch so I was in our classroom alone writing out a behavior report on this kid because I knew if I wrote it out it would get rid of a lot of frustration and his parents needed to know
anyway, i'm about 5 mins into the report and the room is dark and empty except for me. All of a sudden, the door to the outside of the classroom moves, someone is pulling the handle. It wasnt even thought about i was legit just frozen in place panicking.
Then, they try again, it doesnt open. Then, they use a key, I see the handle wiggle and again i'm literally frozen in place and have no fucking clue what to do. Like. Every catastrophe that has ever happened in a classroom ran through my head in literally less than a second but I couldnt do anything.
Luckily, it was two adults, the first a female (Which relieved me, I dont know why or what that says about me, but) and then a man behind her. I say "um.... i- hi?" and they explain that they are teachers that are stil organizing their room for the upcoming school year. I told them I literally almost died when I heard that door handle and realized someone was trying to get in. They apologized but holy fucking shit that was the most intense frightening moment of my fucking LIFE especially as last night I watched ALL the shit about uvalde and it was so fresh in my mind. Omg. Its sad that i ACTUALLY had the thought, "well at least its just me in here" in my frozen panic.
