On Monday during 3rd period one of our students, the Hispanic Debbie Gibson, brought in a balloon bouquet and a small chocolate bunt cake. Before the bell rang she told me that her cake was missing.
Veronica and I know it was that emotionally-disturbed kid. Veronica said he was complaining about being hungry and when she escorted him to the restroom, he took a while. She suspects he swiped the cake and ate it in the restroom stall. I feel like such a bastard because Debbie left her cake and purse close to the bad seed's desk and I meant to tell her to move her things. So to put the wrong right for not being attentive, I bought her a replacement cake on Wednesday. I know I've set a precedent and am obligated to do this again if another cake or treat is stolen but Debbie's a real good kid... she's not snotty, she doesn't try to squeeze by doing the bare minimum, she's got no sense of entitlement,... With the exception of the cake thief, most of those kids are all right. Getting a new cake was also my way of saying "Thanks for being a good student. And a happy belated birthday."
What really irritates my co-teacher and me is that neither of us saw the boy take the cake so we couldn't take disciplinary action against him. We just know it's him since he's shown no regard for other peoples' belongings in the past.
