I thought these days were over

Jack is one of my 3rd grade students. He is diagnosed with ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) and cognitively disabled. I think he is also dyslexic, but the doctor has not diagnosed this. He is a very nice, caring boy 90% of the time; however, he is very impulsive, which gets him in trouble. He can have a conversation with me about football, the weekend, his mom, etc. He talk constantly, and very loudly. He only knows 22 of 26 alphabet letters, and can only count to 13. I love him so much though, because he wants to learn and read so badly. There's just something missing in his brain.

Unfortunately, he had a horrible day. This was the first really bad day he's had all year (this kind of day happened at least 3 times per week last year) : He told Daisy: "you're fired" when playing "store" and made her cry like her leg was being run over or something, then he ran out of the room and kicked the door as hard as possible 5 times. Later he hung out in the staircase when he should have been in my room, so he missed computers and was mad so he threw a desk over. He cried hysterically while trying to run out of the room. I had to wrestle with him to keep him in the classroom. Then he cried for 20 more minutes yelling, "I want my mommy" even though he said she's going to "whoop me" when he gets home. Tomorrow is a new day (Friday!)

Needless to say, I have drinking a glass of wine as I write this.
