today one of my students made me really angry, cos not only is he not putting in any effort he is even disrupting the class. and no matter what i tried, or have been trying, it seems to have all been in naught.
so in the end i complained to his dad. although the dad didnt say anything, i could see that he was pretty pissed, cos he kept clenching and unclenching his jaw. either he was really mad at his kid or he was trying not to punch me. but at that point i didnt really care as i just felt that i had reached a point where i had to do it no matter what.
on hindsight, i could have made it nicer to swallow by buttering it with some nice (truthful) words.. i do it in my written comments so i guess thats why i prefer writing to speaking cos i get to mull over my choice of words more in writing.
anyway its a lesson learnt and i hope i can look back on this someday with more positive feelings
