tough day...

Okay so my day started with a meeting about a student who is not doing ANY work. Talked with mom and other staff about options and we came up with some new strategies to try. Amazingly, today she did all her work! YEAH!! However, later today, one of my most reliable students was cheating...I watched her in disbelief as she blatantly erased her answers and copied from another student. So disappointed and when it all came down to it, her original answers--her own answers--were the correct ones. She cheated and changed them to the wrong answers and ended up with a 0 for cheating. Natural consequences are tough, but the best teacher sometimes...I hope she learned a lesson. maybe then it was worth it...
Until next time...
