That one kid in the classroom

I had the experience of having that one kid in the classroom. He does not want to study to go to uni. He wants to just get out there and work.

That one kid that disrupts the class.

"Miss, I don't have a pencil"..

"Miss, I don't know what I need to do"..

He feels unmotivated.

He is not there to learn, or listen.


When do you, as a teacher running the class give up? Or do you not give up and push them to work hard and flourish as individuals.

I think he is a great kid, and I know he has a lot of potential. I can see it.

He wants to work, great. However, the skills he learn in the classroom will carry him throughout his working life.

So, here's to you. You have your whole life ahead of you, and trust me, if you just put a little bit of effort in, it will make a world of difference.
