Subj: RE: [kl] Student motivation (or lack thereof)/ Lame Excuses

This one, I'm afraid, has pushed my buttons. It is my personal feeling
that school systems, in the interest of some new award or trophy, are
demanding a great deal of our children's time. Perhaps it's a result of
the break down of the family in our country. I, for one, am fed up with
it. I shall stop at this point before my fingers start going through the
key board.

During Marching season, it is imposible to have any consistancy in
lessons. These are the excuses or reasons.
1. I have marching practice, a sectional( What about another day)
2. I have to sell candy, boosters, calendars, christmas trees, wreaths,
ads,
cards, pens.
I find that there is a lack of comittment in this generation. When
I
ask them how much they practiced this week, they usually say about 20
minutes a day for about 3-4 days, which I can tell. Then I tell them, well
I used to practice at least 5-6 hours a day 7 days a week, they look at me
in horror or shock. If I told that to my teacher, or had a horrible
lesson because I did'nt practice I would have been chewed on & spit out.
Also he would call my parents and threaten that this can't continue. In
nowdays, if you chew them out or threaten, you hurt the poor kids feelings.
