It is so hard to stay focus in classes, I learn.
How do you focus in English class, when the weather is so hot?
How do you focus in English class, when you are feeling so woozy and sleepy?
How do you focus in English class, when you cannot understand a single word the teacher is saying?
How do you focus in English class, when your cousin just passed away a few days ago?
How do you focus in English class, when your boyfriend has just broke up with you?
How do you focus in English class, when you were just caught stealing?
How do you focus in English class, when you were found to be involved in a crime?
How do you focus in English class, when your mother remarried very recently?
How do you focus in English class, when your mother just lost her job?
How do you focus in English class, when your friend just got suspended?
How do you focus in English class, when you just got beaten up by some older kids in school?
How do you focus in English class, when everyone in class are picking on you?
How do you focus in English class, when you are isolated and stereotyped being a minority?
How do you focus in English class, when your teacher is always so angry?
How do you focus in English class, when you see no connection between English and solving your problems?
I realize today that some days I forgot that my kids are just like me, breathing and thinking human beings with their equal share of problems and heartbreaks.
So here I was, thinking the world of simple present tense and smple past tense and being so upset and agitated by the lack of interest in my kids when they are just too bogged up in their mind to even try.
In the quest of planning lessons that will distract kids from their existing problems!
And instant pick-me-ups for the sleepy-heads!
