How to reach those kids that just say I can't?
Is there really a true answer to this question and I believe that answer to be a no. I think though that each teacher has in them the capabilities to reach these troubled students. I have found ways through my readings of the text and my experiences to reach these types of students in my classroom. I have developed relationships with these students where they trust me and I have familiarized myself with their likes and dislikes. When they seem disgusted and frustrated I make a point to try to provide real life examples to them that are connected to things that they like and are interested in. I think that through this development of a relationship I have put myself in a position where I have become an effective teacher to all types of learners.
And there you have NAILED it. The answer is relationships, as well as light-heartedness and encouragement and caring. Good job, KYLE. 2 pts
