Question 23 of 30

How would you feel if a student failed?

"Of course, I would never like a student to fail. But, if a student does fail in my class, I will work diligently to make sure they do not compound the issue the next quarter. In turn, I would work with the student moving forward to make sure assignments, projects, and quizzes are completed efficiently, in whatever way possible. Before school, after school, and lunch is when I could make things work."

      "I have to come into student teaching knowing that some students are not going to enjoy my class. I will do everything in my power to give them a chance to pass. But, I cannot let it bother me if things do not work out the way I want them to."

      Shane's Feedback

      This is understandable. You can give them opportunities before or after school. Even at lunch time will do. But, if they do not live up to expecations, you have done your part and you can help them again next quarter.
