That will cause the lazy apethetic students to wallow in their laziness a little more.<BR/><BR/>Frustrating.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06223175539772172259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32707548.post-2636575223529478652007-12-31T14:37:00.000-05:002007-12-31T14:37:00.000-05:00I hear ya...it is SO frusterating to see what the ...I hear ya...it is SO frusterating to see what the kids get away with. My husband is known as one of the strictest teachers ...because he actually requires the kids do their work. He assigned a book for the 9th grade to read last year (they have one a month to read it...not that bad) and ONE kid read it...O N E!! He was so mad (now, this class was one of a kind...all the teachers were celebrating at graduation...they graduate out of our school in 9th) he made them sit in lunch detention and listen to HIM read the book to them for as many days as it took him to finish it. Then he gave them another book and a few extra assignments. He said it gets worse each year, although not usually THAT bad, but just the level of not caring that comes from the kids. THere are no consequences at home and very little even at school. In his 9th grade class THIS year over half the kids have some sort of "label" which requires them to receive extra help or allows them special something (such as taking a test orally etc.) I could go on and on...I'll stop before I get all fired up again! :)Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15242626659661243797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32707548.post-4791216164144053062007-12-31T14:19:00.000-05:002007-12-31T14:19:00.000-05:00So sad...So sad...Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09300340313514216165noreply@blogger.com
