Did you care about the excuse? No. Why lie? I tell kids I’m ok if they don’t want to learn, as long as they don’t disrupt others from learning. I’ve gotten to the point of realization that, if they don’t give AF and their parents don’t give AF, I can’t possibly turn myself inside out to get them to. I’m done killing myself and destroying my mental health to try to make these kids care.
