Cool, huh? But I am still teaching every day. Our school got canceled two days last week during the crazy crazy fires that happened. If you read the news, you heard about the fires. So I had a nice four day weekend.
I'm writing because this kid today in my fourth period class just said some ridiculous stuff that I thought I would share with you. First of all, he has this terrible attitude every single day. He's not dumb and he's not poor. He just "hates math." His attitude causes him to give up so easily on stuff that I know he can do.
Anyways, today before class I was just talking to him and trying to encourage him a little. I told him I thought he could do everything that we've been doing so far. I said he's got to enjoy it a little because he's going to be taking math for the next four years. This was his response:
"If I had a choice between taking math for the next four years or slitting my wrists, I would slit my wrists."
What the heck, man!??! Geez
