Students stole my entire candy supply. I’m diabetic.

I just took over this cohort of two 9th grade ELA classes in December and everything went quite quickly. I wasn’t introduced to my very messy classroom that had belonged to a retiring philosophy teacher; I mention this because I found that nothing in the room locked/I had no keys to lock anything.

I am a diabetic. I had a drawer with candy in it — special candy my boyfriend bought for me at a specialty shop. The candy was under a lot of other things in my desk drawer (random papers and such). Last Tuesday I was out sick. Today I found that my candy had been stolen. All of it. Every single piece.

I’m infuriated and I feel quite betrayed. They not only didn’t do what was asked of them while I was gone, they went into my personal items, and they stole my food. ALL of my food. And it is essentially a medical supply. And I question what the sub was doing that allowed these students access to my desk long enough to steal handful after handful of candy.

I also know who did it. I had my suspicion and I asked another student, who gave the exact names I thought.

I’m going to be gone again tomorrow. I worry what horrors I’ll return to again on Wednesday.

EDIT: Wow. Everyone needs to stop suggesting I poison these kids with laxatives or sugar-free gummy bears. That’s a crime. A CRIME. Why are you even on this sub if you’ll suggest such a thing?!
