So, I can't help but notice the amount of you...complaining, for a lack of a better word, about your students. First of all, you're making me feel ridiculously ancient, but I can live with that.
Secondly, yes. Students are whiny, unruly, and from the looks of things, not quite right in the head. But it looks like, to me at least, that there is very little effort made to understand the source of the whining and the unruly behavior. I'm not saying anyone needs to consider every little bitchfest a valid point, but the fact of the matter is, if you approach them in a way that makes it seem like what they're doing is stupid and pointless, it will kill their motivation to make anything substancial out of whatever it is they're complaining about.
That was a bit of a run-on, wasn't it? I apologize.
Basically, I've learned that if you charge at someone with an air that obviously says "You're a kid and you don't know what you're talking about.", they're going to act like kids who don't know what they're talking about.
On that topic, you're all doing the best you can, given the insanity of the situations we get around here. You should be proud of yourselves for putting up with the sort of individuals and personalities that you do. What you do here is very important, and for God's sake, have a drink or something.
