I am really dedicated to my students. I do things for them that most high school teachers wouldn't even consider. Our school district thought it would be good if we could stay after school and help those kids that didn't perform very well on the TAKS Benchmark test get a little more one on one time so that they may be able to solidify some more concepts a little better.
We chose Mondays and Wednesdays, and I picked out 5 or 6 sophomores and juniors, and we alternate days, Juniors one day and Sophomores the other day. It's not that long, just an hour, but the extra money is nice, and I like to see that the kids that take the extra time to stay after actually get something out of it and do a little better on the actual test, which by the way is only 11 school days away.
That being said, I'm sitting here after school with not one person that chose to stay after. What the heck? Does that mean I don't get paid for staying? Do I still have to stay? I don't know.
I think I'm just going to give up that they're not coming and go home. Doesn't that make me feel like my time was well-used?!?
