The literature courses are the most rigorous. Too many students join my program not knowing how to write. Another challenge is keeping my students in school. All of my students are former dropouts. Money is a big thing in Las Vegas.
Kids learn fast that they can make big dollars without an education.
Opportunity is not always a good thing. I am challenged to keep them interested, much like other teachers. At my school, it is common to hold the idea that school should move faster than it does. Kids need a lot of interaction, not passive instruction. I want to go back to the regular school some day, just because I want to teach only English, want to find a mentor under which I can intern as a high school counselor, want to work with other teachers again.
