Humor because it's actually funny to me with their high school logic. Student never is in class except for the last 5 minutes to get the attendance credit. He doesn't get it but he thinks he does.
Humor because it's actually funny to me with their high school logic. Student never is in class except for the last 5 minutes to get the attendance credit. He doesn't get it but he thinks he does. Why is he never in class? He told me he doesn't like me. I've never had this student before and his truancy started Day 1so where did he get that he doesn't like me? No clue. But I asked why isn't he doing work because he can do a lot at home. It's because he hates me. Do you want to pass the class? Yes. Do you think you will pass if you don't do any work? Slight pause while he thought about it. "No." So time for the million-dollar question. How does failing the class punish me and not yourself? The vacant state as the gears in his brain were trying to engage (yet failing to do so). "I just don't like you." At that point I made a note in his permanent record and referred him to instructional support to continue the conversation. submitted by /u/DrakeSavory [link] [comments]
