The problem that you're dealing with is that while these students may enjoy the works, they are not used to you and talking to you about it. I only took the honors and AP classes in HS because if I didn't I was bored out of my mind. No one else cares. The people I was with cared. So don't fret, there are students who are excited to learn, they just group together and you seemed to have taught the wrong class.Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17417884043856264386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6199354427362915014.post-22922547925647922792010-09-25T08:12:54.803-05:002010-09-25T08:12:54.803-05:00Oh, but teenagers are the greatest examples of sel...Oh, but teenagers are the greatest examples of self importance and short sightedness, aren't they?
