How do you motivate students to do something they don't want to do? My summer school classes are full of kids who "hate" to type. Some of them can literally stare at their fingers for 45 minutes instead of typing. NO amount of prodding, helping, etc gets them moving. I want to light a fire under their tushes to get them moving. Right now I'm watching one student. He has typed seven words in THIRTY MINUTES. SEVEN for gods sake. How can you just sit there and stare off into space for THIRTY DARN MINUTES. I'm so frustrated with this group. I love to do my part to help struggling kids in summer school, but this year may be the straw that broke the camel's back..no more summer teaching for me!
