Sometimes, I just get tired of them. All they care about are boyfriends and girlfriends, looking "cool," and being the it person. I recall those days. Boy, was I stupid.
What hurts me is that some don't realize the benefit of collage. The area I work in is rather poor. Most of their families live off of drug money, and other crime induced incomes. To them high school has no purpose because their life has not shown them the benefit of it.
This is the reality teachers face today. How do we get these kids motivated to learn and better themselves? One educator told me he tells the students his life story in order to help them. For me my life was well, well-to-do so how will they learn from a story that is far from their reality? This made me realize that teaching is a lot harder than it seems.
