Sometimes I worry about my students

I have a student that has not been to class in 3 weeks, did not take his second exam, has not done any of the labs or web assignments and called tonight wanting to know if he came to the rest of the classes if he could pass..... well - there is only one class left!! And based on the math I did last week - there is NO way for him to pass...

sometimes I wonder about people [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif[/img]

hmm -- sounds like some of my staff that flake off - take excessive time off, don't play with kids, and then ask for a reference letter....

Re: Sometimes I worry about my students

Heard every excuse in the books that a first grader can give for being absent or not having their homework. They are learning very early how to escape what they need to do.

This is a picture of what's wrong with America today - nobody wants to accept responsibility for their actions!

Re: Sometimes I worry about my students

Maybe he was having family issues? Or...maybe not[img]/ubb/images/graemlins/questionicon.gif[/img]. I go to school w/ people like this.....but most of them are like a bazillion times smarter than my tiny pee brain, so it is annoying bc they miss class everyday.....and then they pass the class w/ a B. While I am sitting here struggling everyday in class....grrrr
