How do I unteach learned helplessness?
For more Six Word Saturday participants, click here.
Trying to review a year's worth of material. They talk. They walk around the room. They do EVERYTHING but copy the information on the board or pay attention.
I herd cats. Sit down. Stop talking. Wake up. Do you have questions?
I do not understand it.

I face this same question every day. I wish I had an easy answer.
I feel you.
I face the same thing at home with my kids. Wish there was an easy answer. Happy SWS!
I've been trying to do that for years with my high school students. If I had the answer, I could be rich! Great post. Visiting from 6WS.
At least mine, for the most part stay in their seats.
These kids are not teachable for academic subjects. It's time for everyone to wake up and see that.
I think trying to unteach a bad habit of any sort is really hard. I have no answer except to keep trying and hope it sinks in eventually at least for a few of them.
Thanks for playing 6WS!
