Argh. I just finished averaging grades for 2nd trimester. Yes, I could have done it over the weekend. But, come on, it was the weekend. Actually, it doesn't ever take as long as I think it will. It is a lot of mindless number crunching. Maybe that's what it's like being an accountant. Remind me of this the next time I complain about my job

This kid does absolutely nothing. He does the absolute bare minimum in class (with me breathing down his neck,) and nothing at home. Last week the principal was threatening expulsion, and his dad didn't even come in to talk with us. This blew me away. I wrote (OK, vented,) about it here, and here. I really am at a loss as to what else to try. He's lost basically every privelage he has and nothing has made a difference. People tell me to use positive reinforcement, but I just can't bring myself to praise him when I have 20 other kids in my class who work as hard as they can everyday. I'll take any advice you have. :)
