This week for me was all about working with those students who need to improve their grade to pass the classes I teach. Some of the seniors in my classes are failing these classes. This coming week students in both classes will be completing their Classroom Based Assessment project which I first started with them in June. I have told the failing students that this is their last opportunity to improve their grade and pass the class. Some of them know that they have to do well. Others are still indifferent to my warning to them. To be honest, by this stage of my Internship I’m not really surprised. These indifferent students have shown this same attitude all throughout their time with me, so why should this attitude change? It is disappointing to me to see how these seniors don’t seem to appreciate the severity of their situation despite my advice to them. This particular student had a test on Friday which would have improved his overall grade, but he was not in class. His choice is all I can say right now. I find this very frustrating, especially after talking to him after class to let him know that he can pass the class if he applied himself.
