    Post: Feeling defeated...

    First Year Teacher

    Posted on 10/27/09

    My students have just worn me down (I teach 9th grade
    English). They don't want to do anythign and have no
    interest in learning. I try to do fun activities, but
    there are too many of them and they are too inmature to
    handle it. Then we do book work, and they don't do that
    either. I try to have them watch a movie while reading,
    they dont' do that either. I ask them to stop talking, and
    they fuss at me, and then I send them out. I send out over
    10 students a day and am just so tired of trying to help
    them and them being so disrespectful in return. A lot of
    them are repeaters (2nd and 3rd time in English 9!) and are
    bored with the repeat of material. I have no idea what to
    do with them and I know I have to at least make it until
    June. Any ideas would be helpful...
