Secondary meeting

Today we met with the secondary students who are now on break until January.  We have a total of 14 secondary students:

• 1 student received an A-!!!!
• 1 student received a B!!!!
• 6 students received in the C range – those students were encouraged and asked how they could do better.  We are making the students THINK about their performance, how they can improve and what help they may need.
• 5 received in the D range – we did the same as with the C students but gave them their “term warning”.  Next term must be above C- or discussions will have to begin on what their next step will be.
• 1 student was a no-show.  Not sure if he didn’t know about the meeting, wasn’t able to make it or just didn’t attend.
• one student is discussing whether or not to repeat Form 2 – either at her current school or transferring schools.
• many students complained about teachers – 1 student said their Physics teacher showed up 4 times during the term, another student said an English class had 3 different teachers during the term, 1 student said the teacher taught them but what was taught wasn’t on the exam.
• found out 1 student changed their grade – had a long discussion about lying, cheating, etc. but told them we would continue helping, there is no need to lie to us.
• a couple students are having eye problems – trying to figure this one out for eye doctors, etc.
• many wanted “revision” books to help them improve their grades.
• one student has resigned as “prefect” (representative) of his class because he says “it’s a waste of time, they don’t do much and I have better things to do, like study”…love this kid!
