They never happen until it is WAY too late. We are week 15 in the school and I have three parent conferences scheduled this week. Each student has less than a 20 average. Two of them are NGed, meaning they have missed too many days to get credit.<\/p>\n
This morning, the kid MIGHT turn things around but he is so unfocused. Sadly he's a senior, hasn't passed the TAKS (exit test), and isn't passing my class. Oh, and he wants to be a game programmer.<\/p>\n
Tomorrow — this little sweetie has been blaming ME. Okay, it is my fault. She talks insistantly, espectially when I am demonstrating something, has been caught on Urban chat and using a proxy to do so and denied until I showed her, her internet log. I get a "call her mother" message every day to explain MY behavior: let's see, I made her take a paper towel and clean up her desk after she had water on it (which she denied until I pointed out the condensation). I am totally unfair. Sigh. Each time I tell mom she needs to come to tutoring ,ask for help etc. none of which she's done. And when I stop and help her she treats me like dirt. Makes me want to stay in bed each morning.<\/p>\n
Friday — again doesn't come to school and doesn't do my work.<\/p>\n
