If you ever want to feel instantly older repeat these words to someone:
"Look at me when I'm talking to you."
In the past four months, I feel like I understand what parents go through so much more than I did before. And with winter break fast approaching, I find myself having to have more and more "Get it together" talks with my seventh graders. Get it together....start doing you're homework, stop trying to "get by" and instead, get busy, I don't want you to get kicked out of this class because you're not doing the work, .....ect. The best is when you're having one of these conversations with said seventh grader and not only are they not looking at you, but they also have ear buds in their ears....REALLY? Really they do. lol I just want to yank them out. haha Luckily, there are more kids in my class that are trying hard to finish out strong than there are that need to "get it together".
