[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was just talking to a high school teacher today who told me this will be her last year teaching. She's a great teacher. From what she told me, her biggest challenge is engaging the students. She was saying that they just seem to have so little motivation to do anything. Every single teacher and administrator I've talked to in the last month has said it's been a very tough year.

For my own 5th grader, she is doing well, a little over her classmates, but much less anxiety. Now that she is getting special education services, she went from being the year at a low third grade reading level to being on a 5th grade level as of last week! Beginning of 5th grade in March, but I'll take it. She also learned to play guitar at school this year.[/quote]

To the HS teacher’s comments above. I generally am a good teacher but my ability to engage students and get them to work hard and for an entire class period is gone.  They complain, go to the bathroom for 20 minutes, look at their phones every two minutes and claim they are working hard when they aren’t doing anything.  I don’t think I’ll last much longer because the whole thing seems like a futile effort on my part.[/quote]
