Grammar is a hard one- I’ll give it to you! I feel bad for those individuals learning English…we are so inconsistent with our grammar rules!

I’m happy to hear you are teaching perseverance to your students. They will be better off for the struggle. We all are stronger as a result of the journey.

Thanks for sharing!

Cliff notes was my best friend. TERRIBLE! Now, I still am not very good at writing (however I DO use the proper forms of your & you’re!), but I love to read & actually got my masters degree in reading & literacy!

My kids at school…. they are complainers. And I just tell them to get over it because they’ll be glad they did it after they succeed. The old “you’ll always have to do things you don’t want to do” speech works sometimes too! 🙂

Thanks so much for your thoughtful response. It sounds like our experiences were very similar. I can only imagine how many other people out there can relate to this unfortunate scenario. I am happy to hear you are doing your best to not let it happen to your students. 🙂

I thought it was insanely boring and could not memorize anything for the life of me. I didn’t have a hard time memorizing things for other subjects, so I’m pretty sure it all had to do with how disconnected I was with the content. Now, I find history really interesting and love going to see reenactments and museums. Like you I’m trying to find a way to get the kids in my class to love it as much as I do now, not how I felt about it then.
