Hebron Student Council

I'm sorry Shane if i hit a nerve, but when schools allow kids to pass even thu their failing,(more then one class), then someone is not earning their pay. I've seen it, teachers come to work, sit behind their desk and go home. If kids are having a hard time learning something, they have to make an appointment with the teacher to get help....stop the crap and be there for those kids who need you, don't annoy them like their parents do. Teachers want to be respected, but it's like everything else in this world, if you want respect then earn it. In my book, if you help at least one child to get through with passing grades, you have done the most important thing in your life. I had a history teacher in High School who would not give up on me and thanks to him i completed high school. Now am always digging into history just because of that one teacher. I was held back in the 5th grade, failed in my freshman year and stayed back again in my Jr year,but because this one teacher would not give up on me, i did Jr & Sr years together without a study period and i passed. These teachers are rare around here, but their heros in my book. You talk about challenge, you must be talking about the "bad" student who disrupts the class. It goes back to respect and trust. It's not easy, but they have peers who pressure them, they have parents who don't have time or never learnt respect, themselves. You need to be ready to face that challenge head on, need to be patient (very patient)and have a keen imagination. You can't win them all over, but enjoy the ones you do...(just my opinion)...
