That one student who always sits in the back. We all know him. Maybe one of us is him. Or her. He is all spitballs and inappropriate jokes. He never does the work. We call him lazy. Or even stupid. And, please, oh please, do not put us in a group project with him.
How often does the teacher ask him to stay after class? We know what's coming. A lecture. A list of consequences. Disappointment. Well, we think we know.
What does she say to him? Keep reading. Ask questions. I'm here when you need help. I know you can do it. You have a lot of potential. Keep trying. I've seen some your work. I know it's hard. You can do it. Keep at it. You have good insight. Write more. Don't give up. I'm not giving up on you.
I am not giving up on you.
