11 Feb 11

Today the students (few) turned in their homework of Vocabulary today. It was a very frustrating experience to have so few assignments turned in on time. This will cause me to make the former week-long assignments now have a 2 day window. So, now when vocab is assigned on Monday it is due on Wednesday. Clearly, having 5 days is too long and so we will see how they do with a shorter timeframe. The students that did not turn in their 100% completed homework had to perform community service around campus. And those students continuing to not perform in class will continue to have disciplinary actions taken against them as far as referrals, phone calls home, conferences and possible removal from the class all together.
Journal entry: If you were a teacher and you had students that behave and perform like you or some of the members of your class, what would you do?
