The first week of school is exciting and novel-- everything is new, and the possibilities seem unlimited.
Reality casts a bit of a shadow over the second week of school; things get real pretty quickly, and there are standardized tests, homework, and less forgiveness for failure to follow the procedures and rules. And just as we are testing the students, some of them are testing us, because we still don't know each other.
It helps to remember that most people who give you a hard time are probably having a hard time themselves.
