"Come on, Ms. Sample", Elizabeth tells me. "It's Friday".
That statement has irritated me for some reason because my student is a 20 year old student that has a lot of work to do if she wants to graduate by May 2010. She has an IEP, which is fine. My problem is that she's not motivated to do any better than she's doing. My quandry is this: how do I help motivate her to see that she really needs to take her education seriously. School is a social environment, however, it is also a place where to receive education and valuable lessons that can be carried with you throughout your life.
My students like to listen to music while working...which is fine IF you have headphones. The problem is that not everyone can concentrate with music and singing going on. I happen to be one of those people. Plus, it's just common curtesy and respectful to other people.
My goodness...
