Report Cards

I have spent the last week working on getting tests and assignments done so that I can give final grades. It is almost funny (after you get past the sadness of it) how suddenly the kids were very concerned about what assignments they hadn't done when I showed them that they were FAILING most subjects. And even after that, they still didn't get the work turned in. Unbelievable. I am going to have some very unhappy parents on my hands. Not with me, but with their children and their utter lack of interest in all things educational. I don't think I was too "tough" with my grading either. In fact, I have been much more lenient than many other teachers. Ugh. I don't like writing "F" on those report cards.
