I was not going to post this weekend, in fact I was just going to relax and enjoy a quite 2 days off but a stubborn student that is dragging his feet has me a bit off tonight.
Mom and dad want me to teach him to write his essay but what happens when said student can do it but wont and wants me to write it for him. I know he knows how because he showed me he could do it the other day. He was ready; now that it is Saturday and the rough draft should have been done yesterday and he is refusing to complete it. The truth is that he wants to go out and do what boys do at his age on a weekend and not bother with boring English but that's too bad, mom and dad want it done.
You see, I am having my own issue with my student. He was supposed to be here this morning at 11 am. Mom called and said they would be a little late. No problem, but 11:30 came and went and they were no shows. My husband and daughter went hiking without me because they figured that my student was on his way. Mom called and said he was still trying to complete his rough dra
ft that she would call me later. Later came and went. He ended up showing up at 430 this afternoon, very bitter that he wasn’t out and about and instead stuck in my house writing a paper he entitled, "dumb paper". (We will have to edit that too)
He has been here a couple of hours now and hasn’t caught on that I am not writing the paper that he has too. I have helped him set up quotes and set up ideas but I will be damned if I am going to write it. I also informed him that I don’t want to be stuck here all day either and that because of him I have been stuck and I missed fun with my family and a date with my husband and that next time he will pay me for time lost. I told mom that too in a much nicer way and I hope I didn’t overstep my ground but the kid is 16 years old, I know he knows better. I can teach him, mom can drop him here but only he can write the paper.
