[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I definitely feel like I'm babysitting high schoolers. I'm supposed to show grace and provide extra support. And I do, I check in, I have good relationships with most of the kids- they talk to me about what's going on at home and teenage drama and they ask me how my weekend was. I offer planning periods and lunch for them to stop by and they don't - until the last 2 days of the quarter. And by then they're so far gone that there's nothing I can do to actually help other that having them get in that assignment with higher points to maybe get that E to a D.

I see them in the hallway skipping class and remind them if they come to class today I can reteach what was on yesterday's test so they can retake it. They know it's a great idea. And they don't show up.

I'm sad for these kids. Their classes are too hard for them, but yeah, let's put them in honors English when they're reading at 3rd grade level. Let's pass them in math and put them in the next level even though they don't have their basic concepts down.

By the time they even get to HS they are SO far behind. Having a kid myself who struggles academically, by mid elementary school we needed to ever resource we could to keep her at grade level, because I'm terrified of her getting to MS and not having the basic skills and falling that far behind because it feels helpless at that point.

It's so overwhelming. The parents don't know what to do. And the kids are giving up. [/quote]
