The Easy Way Out.

Of course, I know how it is, in school I have always looked for the easy way out, the shortest way to complete a project and still get a good grade. But, my AVID girls take this to a whole new level. They had to pick out a newspaper article and write a page about it. Now, please note that this was due a couple of weeks ago and the teacher was giving them another opportunity. Now, some of my girls got it done the right way. But, one girl, who is probably my most lazy tutee, wanted another student who had read the article to tell her what the article was about. I had to literally sit with this girl so she would read it for herself. Another girl picked what must have been the smallest article in the whole paper, and then started complaining because she could not find a lot to write about. Well, duh! I was very disappointed, this being my last session and all, and I could also not believe that after all this time, it was still the girls who were the laziest and the procrastinators in the bunch. I do not want to be stereotypical, but it is after all, the boys who usually take this route. Still confused about what grade I want to teach, hopefully next semester will help my confusion.
