Hi, Classmates!
Here goes another week, but let's cheer up!
We have the general election day this week, and so many(?) holidays next month. What tips would you give to a student who is extremely stubborn and always tries to have his own way? I had a student who was late for school so often and even refused to come to school. He wants to drop out of school, but his parents want me to dissuade him from doing that. Whatever his parents and I said, he never listens. His parents count on me so much, but it's beyond my ability. What advice would you give to him? Help me, his parents, and the student!

Well. I'm helpless. I'm angry that I am helpless when I have that kind of problem. I think he must learn for himself. Sometimes I feel school is not that important for students who don't want to study. If they can find meaning of life somewhere else, let them do so. What's important is how he strive for his dream. Sorry I can't help you.
Hi Sunny,
Yesterday after I read the essay, "Teddy Stoddard" in Leggie's composition class, I thought many things. Though I didn't say anything about the essay in the class, in some points the story makes me feel a litle shameful. I can't help confessing that I have been the Mrs. Thomson in my school until now. Honestly, it's very hard to love some misbehaved students and hide my feelings against them.
To be a good teacher is a very, very tough thing to me.
This is just my story. Don't get me wrong. And I'm sorry for not helping you..
Hi Sunny!
when I stepped in teaching, I thought that I was good at teaching and controlling the class. I was foolish. Now, I really try to change myself. Just Believe and love him.
That's the only way. And Above all, You need to counsel with the parents. and then the students.
I think Every parents who has bad behavior children should blame themselves not their children.
I'm sure they made a mistake in loving him.
Hi Sunny,
my helpful presentation mate!
Don't try to take pains on him.
Just be with him - share as many hours as you can just in school. Don't try to teach anything to him, don't give him any lessons.
Just share your chocolates, tea, candies, talks, and his friends. One of the torturous things being a teacher is waiting.
Wait next to him till he opens himself if you want to change him. But never forget that a student won't change easily.
Usually I used to think that the teacher's role was lead students to right ways by compulsion even if they were not interested in their future. However, recently I changed my thought. Instead of urging studnets to do something, let them make a decison on themself. Of course, We, as a teacher, must remind them of their responsibilties and show your concern over their problems.
Hi Sunny,
This is a difficult situation that I think a lot of Korean teachers are facing these days. Unfortunately, I think that many students have given up on the education system and the media's constant criticism of the test-heavy education system lets students think that things are hopeless. I like Andy's idea of supporting students emotionally but it may not solve all of your problems. Eventually, I think that the system needs to change so that these types of students can feel that they belong in the schools.
