Why We Honor Dr. King... Today, the #thirdMondayofJanuary, our nation celebrates the life and achievements of #DrMartinLutherKingJr, one of our country's most influential #civilrightsleaders. #DrKing is most well-known for his campaigns to #endracialsegregationon public transportation and for #racialequality in the United States. Dr. King advocated non-violent protests and in 1964, Dr. King received the Nobel Peace Prize. Dr. King's most famous address was the #IHaveADream speech during the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom on August 28, 1963. Five years later, on April 4, 1968, Dr. King was assassinated at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis,Tennessee. On October 16, 2011, the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial, 30 feet high, was dedicated to commemorate the Civil Rights leader's efforts to #advancecivilrights in the United States and around the world. The granite memorial is located at #1964IndependenceAvenue, next to the #NationalMall. The memorial was purposely placed at this address as a direct reference to the #1964CivilRightsAct, a milestone in the Civil Rights Movement in which King played a significant role. Your next #WashingtonDCstudenttour can include a #visit to the #MLKMemorial for your #students. #Visitourwebsite for #sampleitineraries.

Why are my students little disease pots that always seem to give me their plague?

Time to go make some ginger and honey tea. I think I have a lemon left.

Why won’t my kids turn stuff in?

I have SO many Fs that it scares me. And it’s because they aren’t turning stuff in! If they were scoring low because they didn’t get the material, that would be different. I would happily spend time remediating with them and tutoring them. But they just aren’t doing the work! Even when we go over it in class, they’ll do half of it. It’s not like I give homework often. So when I say “finish it at home if you didn’t finish it in class,” it’s not like I’m adding that to a pile of homework for me. I even allowed them 2 WHOLE CLASS PERIODS to make up work for me before Thanksgiving. I had a whopping 6 kids use that (out of 132. You do the math). 

Also, every Friday I ask them to write me a paragraph about what they’re reading and more than half are like “Uh, Miss, I’m not reading anything. What do I write?” Nothing. Because you can’t. They don’t want me to start doing nightly reading logs, but if they don’t start doing it on their own, I’m going to have to! Which is just more grading for me. And then they get mad when I give them a 0 on the paragraph because it “isn’t fair” that they couldn’t do it. This is a READING CLASS. You are required, by school rules, to have a backpack book! 

I’m so annoyed. Then I get parents e-mailing me like crazy because their kid has an F and they want them to make up 8 assignments they’ve missed and that’s SO much work for me to grade at one time.

TLDR; My kids won’t turn stuff in and I’m tired of it.
