Apathy

I don't understand the apathy from some of the students. Basically I don't understand apathy.

Yes AR is due,and I have listened to you, tried to make changes that would help you, but still, it doesn't seem to be enough.

So you tell me; what does it take to get some people to actually work?

The world is a strange place

In some ways I feel sorry for my students. There were no school shootings when I grew up. In many ways as I look back, I remember a kinder and gentler time. Of course I also remember integration of schools, and businesses in the South. That seemed very far away. The Viet Nam War was a big part of my growing up years. But that too seemed far away.

So my question for you is, how do you feel about the recent shootings?

Also grades recently went out. I wish they had been better grades. I really want to see all of you do well. My other question to you is what does school do for you?

I know that many of you disagree with the rules, what one rule would you change if you could?

As long as I'm asking lots of questions, what would you like to see done different in our classroom?
