They make stupid choices - and I don't know how to help them make better ones.
Another teacher, working on his EdS, was discussing how the most important factor in determining a student's success is their parents. *If anyone knows that study, please let me know.* OK, I can't change their parents. I can't change their choices. I have to learn to let go.
Darn!
My goals for next year:
1. Be more positive.
2. Be more clear in my expectations.
3. Raise the bar - whether they join me or not.
4. Help them learn to take better notes.
5. Take less STUFF to my room.

These are good goals and very similar to my own. 1 & 2 & 4!!!!
However, what do you mean by "take less stuff to my room?"
I bring too much stuff (notebooks and books and supplies) to the classroom - and then I can't always find what I want. If I were better organized, I would be able to leave more at home and have a cleaner space.
And hopefully bring more stuff (as in ideas and strategies) to my lessons.
