So, apparently, nice guilt can work too sometimes...
I have a first period class of senior boys who all need a lot of help (passing the regents second time around) and a lot of TLC.
One, in particular, is very sweet but has a REALLY crappy home life. So in the beginning of the year (i.e. three weeks ago), he was coming on time. (It's EARLY for anyone but especially these boys, I think.) Then the punctuality started to dwindle, and this past Tuesday AND Wednesday, he walked in a HALF HOUR LATE.
So I held him after class yesterday to tell him that in addition to a multitude of other reasons why he needs to be on time for class for his own grade/attendance, the class is also much better for all of us -- myself included-- when he's there.
He was there 10 minutes BEFORE I was today. I love this kid.
