I wanted to walk out of my classroom today and never return...just leave the kiddos there, go grab some coffee, and hurl the non-working laptop carts off into the commons area on my way out the door. Not to mention, assign a detention to every single kid who asked me if this was worth points, if they could do their math homework during class, or why couldn't he flirt with the girl next to him all hour and not write his rough draft?
It ticks me off that I need to assign a point value to every single thing, that I'm responsible for the kid who will potentially fail. If they aren't motivated, do I have to hold their hand? That annoys me to no end. Kids need to see the consequences of their choices. But when it's my butt on the line, what then?
It's time to get creative...
