teaching lessons

Author: olewannabe88

I'm a senior in high school who has started teaching lessons this year. Unfortunately, two of my three students are obviously not interested. They do it because the parents make them, never come prepared, and frankly are just not very good. When the mom called me to set things up she said they probably will not continue into high school.

Is it stupid to say that I'm continuing with these two mainly for the money I'm recieving? I really do try, but with their attitude sometimes I think "what's the point?" For those two, the cash is the main motivator, because my regular job doesn't pay well.

HOWEVER, I do have another student who is interested in the lessons and comes prepared, who I really do enjoy teaching. I can see progress being made there. I've been fortunate myself to have studied with a professional since sixth grade, and though I don't expect to have the same results with this student it's fun to see her enjoying what she's doing-which was her mom's main goal for her when she contacted me.
