Professor Umbridge Reincarnated

I think my 8th grade boys see me as this sugar coated Harry Potter "villain". 

Of course, any of you who know me, know that there's nothing sugar coated about me.  I don't pretend to be something that I'm not.  Also, I'm allergic to cats and no one should wear that much pink. 

But lurking there behind the sweet facade, is a rage rivaling Lord Voldemort.  Plus she has that really awesome quill that carves things into the back of naughty children's hands.  I wish I had me some of those quills. 

I have something else though.  I have power over citizenship grades.  And 4 of the darling 8th grade boys are getting U's(Unsatisfactory) citizenship grades for the term.  The parents were notified via email last night.  This means that I started dealing with the repercussions of this before school this morning.  And it continued all day long.  Tomorrow, I get to have a parent meeting after school.  And this mother has already tried to bully the principal.  So, it should be exciting.  I wish I had a magic quill for parents too.

I'm really getting frustrated with the parents who want me to let their children be disrespectful to me and their peers and not give them any consequences for their actions.  I'm sorry but the system was put in place for a reason.  Call me a Nazi Dictator.  Call me a Communist Tyrant.  Call me Professor Umbridge.  Call me what you want.  But I'm not backing down.

I think this is what the Parents and Students expect me to look like when they're "done with me".

They're going to be very disappointed.  I've documented everything.  This isn't my first rodeo, kids.  Plus, I've coordinated with the teacher and administration through out the whole thing.  I'm not just a pretty face.

I'm prepared.  But I really think it's ridiculous that it is coming to this at all.
