Reflection 3/14/05-3/18/05

Not a lot happened this week. I'm still not getting a lot of assignments, but because of the end of the marking period (which fell on Wednesday) and few kids turned in their late work. Late is better than never. It frustrates me how many of the students come to class regularly, yet don't turn in the assignments. I've given them time in class to work on them, seen that they are producing pieces in peer editing workshops, but I never see the final draft. I don't know what more i can do.
I have one student who I am having a problem with. One girl in my creative writing class gives me a lot of attitude every day. When she needs help, she goes to Ms. Summers for it, blatantly passing me. I also don't know what to do about her. Monica says that there really isn't much I can do. She said she had a student like her last year and it is annoying, but it's up to her. As long as she isn't hurting anyone else, I should just let her go or give her attitude back. I'm not sure which approach is better. I'm wary of the attitude idea, but if it works, then it's good. I think I'll play it out and see what happens.
Other than that, it was a quiet week.
