So, I took down the bookshelf banner or poster or whatever you call it in my classroom. The effect of doing so is stunning. The class looks starkly white. It will have little effect on students because most of them aren’t showing up to class.
Why the no shows? No test for which they can prepare. It seems the students we have aren’t interested in knowledge for the sake of knowledge. They just want the grade or the mark or the pass so they can move on to the next thing. And they don’t show up for me. I have no idea how to make a connection with them and I have given up trying.
I can say I hate the students but I can’t blame them completely for what they have become.
