do you just ever have days when you want to give up?
not saying i'm giving up. just saying, last week was hard. this week is shaping up to be much the same way.
god bless title one schools, but WHOA. commerce city is a whole different story from lansing. these kids, all they've got is the place they came from, and it sure isn't much. and they don't expect much from life. they DEFINITELY don't expect much from school.
okay, that's over-generalizing. some of my kids do want to learn.
but i've got this one kid. man, and all it takes is one. Adia, you know the ONE from last year. this year, it's another one. ugh. and he's just the icing on the cake of a multitude of behavior problems, attitudes, and learning disabilities. as well as a whole bunch of kids that aren't on my caseload. maybe i've bitten off more than i can chew with this one.
i love kids, but this district...some days it gets me down.
tomorrow - district walkthroughs. wahoo.
