Default Re: Some of my students won't listen to me.

I agree with you Jurubeba. It really works. You just have to talk with the student again and again. I try to make it this way. Of course sometimes it looks like I've never talked to them. So I let him/her remember that he/she is special with a special chance to learn. I don't want to be a disciplinarian; the student has to discipline him/herself. And I know that he/she can do this. So learning will be funny and not boring... And we should be problem solvers. At least I tell him/her that I trust/like him/her. Because every student is special to me, I want to prepare them for life because I care about their future.

But of course, I have to talk to them from time to time; again and again and again. But until today I never let their parents know.
