Yesterday I put a girl out that showed up 20 minutes later, didn't pick up any work, then sat at her desk and refused to work. I gave her a few minutes to get it together, asked her if she wanted to chat, and gave her a choice between the assignment she didn't pick up and one that was more interactive. She disrespectfully declined.
My reaction could have been better, but mostly I told her I wasn't in the mood to deal with her attitude today because it was hot and she was the only one not working, AND SHE WAS LATE ON TOP OF THAT. The important thing is that I'm not mad. She just needed to go. Today is a new day and I don't blame her for yesterday. Today we start fresh. Today there is a chance to learn. I'm excited to have her back in class and I believe today will be a better day.
Happy Friday folks.
