Feeling Guilty

If a student fails, it's because they are not doing their part. That's what I keep telling myself. Every single day, I give it my all. I'm trying to teach, I'm trying to be creative, I'm trying to teach discipline, I'm trying to help, I'm trying to call parents, I'm trying every thing I could think of, and the kid just sits there and still doesn't do anything. I can't force a kid to do his homework. I can't make him take notes. And then when I express a little bit of anger at them, I felt that I failed everything because yelling doesn't accomplish anything either.

It hurts teachers more whenever we give out an F. Students think we give them F's because we hate them.
