[quote=Anonymous]It's a huge part of teacher burn out too. We are expected to chase after the kids and families and document everything. They kids come to us after missing a whole semester and ask us how they can pass. If you tell them to go to class they curse you out. If they ask you to keep the noise down in the hallway becuase other people are trying to learn they laugh at you. They miss so much content and then are promoted the the next level class and don't have the base knowledge to succeed and the cycle starts again.

I was at my school's graduation and they kept calling names that made me think "how the F did that kid graduate - I had him for 2 semesters and never met him."

If they do show up for class here and there, they're so lost and I have no way of getting them up to speed in order to participate that day.

I try to give them grace for all they are going through outside of school. But how will they ever keep a job if they think they can not show up and still get by?? We're doing them a disservice. [/quote]
