Knocking off five points just gives the teacher something pointless to do to occupy her own time.John Evanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05732100668663247951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2688378028837979402.post-67721432578689155422009-03-06T11:07:00.000-05:002009-03-06T11:07:00.000-05:00I feel your frustration.

FX kids can be really stubborn and teachers need to see it's not about "breaking" them but finding a common ground that works for both parties.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2688378028837979402.post-52751030078447460932009-03-06T02:05:00.000-05:002009-03-06T02:05:00.000-05:00That teacher who marks 5 points off the late assig...That teacher who marks 5 points off the late assignment really annoys me. It is about teaching him, not getting a grade.

He probably senses their frustration with him and reacts to it. FXS kids want to be successful, but it sounds like he's not always being set up to succeed. Maybe if they alternated the more difficult work with easier work, he would stay motivated and feel good about himself. Just my two cents. =)theotherlionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04980607353600802565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2688378028837979402.post-22485581998310421912009-03-05T13:40:00.000-05:002009-03-05T13:40:00.000-05:00What a fun conference!!!
