Re: a vent about respect.
I'm sorry to hear that - especially that you're sick!
Gosh, i would NEVER want to loop. I know some people love it, but I wouldn't because of the management issue. Especially as a second year teacher! I can't imagine looping after my only real experience with management was with the same kids in my first year! Ugh.
I really don't have much advice. I just wanted to offer my hugs to you. Feel better and just mae sure you stay consistant. Start calling home if behavior persists. 
Good luck!!!

Re: a vent about respect.
What was the consequence for the kid who grabbed the fan? I hope you didn't let him get away with it. I would have flipped out on his little azz.

Honestly 'looping' has its pros and cons........ My class is generally great! (except for this stupid incident  ) ....... and it really eliminates the headache over the summer wondering what kind of class you will have in the fall.......
But yea, following the kids I had for my first year is definitely a challenge! There were obviously things I did in my first year that I vowed to change for future years, but my kids already know me and already so stuck in their routines.........
I think having the same class over again would be much better for an experienced teacher who isn't still learning from their mistakes......... Yet, the benefit is I get to see them grow and I have a great bond with them. (although, as u can see from my post, my bond with them might be TOO good since they clearly feel very comfortable  )

OMG...... as embarrassing as this is to admit...... I spoke to him firmly about it saying what an incredibly rude thing that was to do.. and let it go  WHY!??!? I have no idea........... thinking back I don't know why I didn't flip out!!
I don't know if this is going to make sense...... and some people who have had a temper in their rooms might rolls their eyes at this....... but... I feel like I don't KNOW HOW to get THAT angry in my room! Situations will happen and I just don't know how to react!
I tend to be very mellow at work..... I'm the teacher who is known for having the best behaved class but doesn't have to yell to keep them that way! I just didn't know how to react........ and combine that with the fact that it was late on a friday afternoon before a 3 day weekend..... I just wanted to get out.............
Stupid, I know. I didn't go in today and tomorrow is questionable since I still have a fever..... but when I do go back I plan on taking him aside and talking to him.
