Yes, there are definitely more "Ke...@ Pancake:<br />Yes, there are definitely more "Kevin's" running our school. I appreciate your honesty regarding your behavior, and yes, you admit it's your choice. <br /><br />But if it's as easy as shrugging your shoulders and saying, "hey my decision," then why not man up and stop coming to school altogether? If you're doing jack shit here, why not do jack shit at home? <br /><br />If it's because your parents are "forcing" you to come everyday, there are ways around that. <br /><br />What makes you wake up every morning, make the commute, turn in your cell phone, and spend 6-7 hrs a day in a building that resembles a jail if you can then go and "make a decision" to refuse to learn? What's the point?<br /><br />@ Anonymous 1:<br />Sorry it took so long.<br /><br />@ Ahsan:<br />Yes, they have their ways of finding things around the internet... <br /><br />@ Anonymous #2:<br />Wow, nicely written. Seriously, there are some great insights here. Keep up writing, it will take you far!<br /><br />@ Anonymous #3:<br />It has nothing to do with you Pepe lol.<br /><br />@ Mr. T:<br />Love how you plugged your blog in here, lol. I thought I did focus on the kids who were there to learn, but I did nothing with regards to kids like Kevin. Now I know, I just need to take them out of the picture.<br /><br />@ MissEmmmm:<br />When you stop taking it personally, you become a machine.

Most of us just sputter "...Kevin..." then shake our heads. I have trouble not taking it personally. Usually, I can sometimes console myself with a (paraphrased) proverb - "You can't teach someone who is not ready to learn". Until then gotta keep 'em busy... ooghMissEmmmmnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2234657308696440651.post-12052916101497499092010-04-09T01:21:45.296-04:002010-04-09T01:21:45.296-04:00Yo Mista!
As I have mentioned in my blog as well ...Yo Mista!<br /><br />As I have mentioned in my blog as well (blacktop-blackboard.blogspot.com): School truly is not for everyone! I think that our colleagues in TFA would dislocate their eyeball muscles and have an aneurysm upon hearing such blasphemy, but in there is no way, no way in hell, heaven or earth, that everyone is capable of going to college. We all ahve different genes, different life experiences, different wants, different intelligences and intelligence levels - this alone relagates some to the nether regions of vocational pursuits. If this were not the case NASA scientists would be washing their own carpets. <br />i don't think we should make the decisions for the kids, whether they can or should go to college, but when we encounter an example who is resistant to all form of reasoning and has fucked up 30 "2nd" chances: sorry. Its drugs, gangs, jail or burger King for you big man and there is not a damn thing we can do.<br />You put in the effort, you gave him multiple chances, you went out of your way ( I am assuming) and at his age he still made the aforementioned descions?<br />focus on the kids who want to learn in that class, your energy is thus better spent.Mr. Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01873311180259512137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2234657308696440651.post-50132176152384119112010-04-09T00:12:48.356-04:002010-04-09T00:12:48.356-04:00Strange that you picked the name "Kevin"...Strange that you picked the name "Kevin" to describe someone who disrupted class....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2234657308696440651.post-71058273698844865662010-04-08T22:59:30.877-04:002010-04-08T22:59:30.877-04:00Wordd.

Because when we both had to do a project together (for global first trimester), I made it clear to him that any participation he had, big or small, would have a great impact in our grades. <br /><br />I guess by completely taking that pressure of his chest and implying " Kelvin Its okay as long as you try" really made him feel that he had nothing to loose, or that there was no way he would feel shame for not measuring up. It helped because at the end, he did almost as much as I did. <br /><br />But he cant expect people to always find ways to take the pressures of off him, thats something he has to do on his own. He has self issues, that he needs to battle now in order to move on in the real world. Your not a bad teacher at all, when first of all you intentions have always been good...for him and for ALL your students. Its hard to help him when hes ruining it for the others.<br /><br />Ive said this before, you should just focus on the kids that really are there to learn. Tell him "Kevin, Im ready when you are."<br /><br />(omg i wrote like a freaking page again, sorry lol)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2234657308696440651.post-9722011066451338672010-04-08T22:51:03.265-04:002010-04-08T22:51:03.265-04:00Wait, do your students read this blog?Wait, do your students read this blog?Ahsanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13662937883149553514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2234657308696440651.post-34828613780216579032010-04-08T21:40:46.813-04:002010-04-08T21:40:46.813-04:00Well fina-freakin'-ly.
