Procrastination....a student's nightmare

One would think that one of the thousands of conversastions I have had earlier in the semester would have sparked some movement, but, alas, nothing. I spent time explaining that when you have failed all tests and haven't turned in any assignments, it is going to be hard to turn things around so late.
I work hard for my students. Most would tell you that I am there, available, at lunch, after school and beyond, but sadly, some of the students can't find it within themselves to put in minimal effort on a regular basis. I am sad...I am worried...these are the future adults that I am working with. Should I be a bit concerned? Yes...we continue to do more with less and the time to help mold the ones who really need more time and support is becoming scarce.
No, your lack of planning does not constitute an emergency for me, but I can sympathize and, hopefully, help you make better decisions for next year...
We will all make it, by the skin of our teeth, but soon we will be basking in the sun! <3
