It had been 35 years since my prom. I loved it. The kids were great!<BR/><BR/>Their work ethic skills are very low overall. They want to do the minimum amount to pass. That attitude is shown by upper classmen mostly.

No matter how much I spoon-feed them, they never seem to see how easy high school can be. I guess this is a common problem for us all.Grummerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18130808624631369317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725285395319049030.post-85325324120401592662009-03-15T15:52:00.000-04:002009-03-15T15:52:00.000-04:00I agree with you, Penny about students' desires to...I agree with you, Penny about students' desires to just get by. I have a hard time motivating them if they have their mind set. I emphasize on how important good work habits and ethics are in the work force with the economy today. We are not really teaching our students if we are not preparing them for the working world. I am blunt and up front with them but they will still have to deal with reality when it comes. I have students that have graduated that have volunteered to come and speak to my classes to reinforce what I have taught to try to prepare them.Leonardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12021001884293708106noreply@blogger.com
