Student Expulsion

Last night I dreamed that I was substitute teaching.  The brick building I was in looked like it was built in the late 1800s.  I had the impression that it was the end of the school year.  While I was teaching, the students were quite out of control.  I told them that if they continued to misbehave I would send them out.  I proceeded to do so with one student, and I think it resulted in his expulsion.  Then I suddenly found myself seeing the world from his perspective, and learning things about his home life--mainly that he had to share a room with his sister.  I felt a bit guilty as I realized that his acting out was likely only over-compensation.
