Duh
I write the poem then forget to comment about it. There are many things that can affect a student and their performances in class. That is a perfect example, they may enjoy their classes and their classmates, but life itself can tire you out. As a student who works full time and takes 18 credits it gets really hard some days to just get up and go, and the motivation needs to be there. You can always use your own experiences to rally the troops, but sometimes you just have to leave it in the hands of the student, and hope that they make the right decision about their education.

I'm sick
Got a cold on the weekend and now I have a whole bunch of medicine that when I take it I have the chance of becoming mentally unstable, confused, listless, violent vomiting, dizziness, and confusion.....sounds like I should just try to wait it out instead of dealing with this.
But don't worry Doc said I could go back to work and school on Wednesday, bad part is I'm missing three classes today.

Group 3 Mars Thing
1. What are our schools like, and how did they get that way?
Schools in the United States go for 12 years. School is mandatory until age of 16. There are many different types of schools: Public, Private, Home Schooling. Our schools try teach students to be a democratic citizen, be mature in a democratic society. Schools founded by immigrants, based on religion at first. Protestants made public schools to separate church and education. Schools are funded mostly by the state and local taxes According to the Public Education Primer 43% comes from local sources, more than three-fourths of this local share derived from local property taxes. 9% from the federal government. Our schools offer free and reduced lunch for families that are below the poverty level. Offer social workers, psychologists, speech therapists, after school care programs depending on schools funding. Institution is progressing, instead of just teachers we What are schools now have counselors that a family may not be able to afford by themselves.
2. Who are our students?
Our students can range from ages 3 to 19 years old. They come from all types of socio-economic backgrounds. Our students also come from a variety of racial and ethnic backgrounds. Funding our education system help our students in the best way possible. Our foreign students have a chance to learn the English language in the form of classes, for example ESL (English as a second language). According to the Public Education Primer on page 25, scores on college entrance exams have increased modestly, in case of the SAT, or held steady, in case of the ACT. We are progressively getting better scores.
3. Who are our teachers?
Almost half of all public school teachers have advanced degrees, and the majority have more than 10 years experience. The United States requires that all teachers have a degree in area of their concentration. The majority of our teachers are women (8 out of 10). Our teachers try their best to help the students as best as they can, they are very dedicated to their work. Our teachers try to prepare students for life after grade school by exercising their students’ creative and critical thinking skills.
