I'm finishing up my homeroom class managements.  When we had only two weeks to go, a terrible  incident happened.   Three students were involved with this, but one of them caused the same type of problem in May.  If it were not for a thing like this, I would be able to have fun time with my students thinking how we could welcome the new students in this coming April.  But now I have to discipline the students mentioned above.   I will have little time with the other students in my homeroom class.

Whenever students cause some problems, I keep having a dilemma whether I should be hard on him or kind to him.  Of course the priority is to sympathize with the victim of the incident, but apparently there is more to do with the students who caused the problem.  I must be his advisor, I must be his helper, and I have to be his friend.  I must tell him off first, next I must mentally support him, and finally I have to smile at him and listen to him.  Afterward, I must be with him and laugh with him. But the problem this time is the timing.  After the discipline, I have no time to be his homeroom teacher.  I cannot stay with him.  My class will break up for the next school year.

It seems like I must still think about what I can do for him during the spring break.
