I didn’t greet or talk to any of them all day long (I nodded and wrote passes if they approached me for a clinic or bathroom pass- I shook my head no for anything else) nor did I get out of my seat. I ignored everything they said and if a kid got checked out the secretary would have to walk down to my room because I put a box over the intercom so I wouldn’t have to hear it. The kids called those days “devil music days” lol
