Why Thy Will Can't Be Done....
Why can't my students turn in their homework?? I have tried everything to encourage them with extra credit, bribing them with a pizza party, and simply giving them zeros when they don't turn it in. I get nothing, nada, zilch. I don't know if it is about priorities and homework is last on their priority list, or if it just because there is absolutely NO motivation!! At this point though, I am ready to put shock collars on every one of them (Of course I wouldn't do it though- too expensive ; ) but man! It is annoying!!!
I am a High School English teacher to adult felons in jail that usually have with ADHD, social/emotional disorders, general anxiety disorder, PTSD, and other learning disabilities. I am the mom to a 9 year old boy with ADHD and I have ADHD as well. This blog is a place for me to describe my teaching style, vent about the difficulties surrounding ADHD, and explain some of the common issues I face as a teacher and parent.
