Today in the district center met a colleague from the most remote school of our area. He told me such a story. A guy in 9th grade is studying with them, not without abilities, but does not experience interest in studying. He gets three and is pleased. After two quarters of this year, his mother said to him, "You go out in the end with a shooter, I will buy you a scooter." The boy changed 100 percent, took the study so that in the third quarter only three four, the rest "Excellent." The last quarter was remote, it seemed that the guy would no longer have problems. In the end, all “five” and only in the English language “three”.
“Wait,” I said to a colleague, and he said, “Why didn’t you work with an English teacher? “School strikes will not hurt.”
“As we worked, the director and I talked and threatened. The English teacher is his mother.
And she answers, "There is no money for a scooter, a lot of cows have been raised, everything will go for food."
Why did she promise?
I wanted him to stretch up a little. Next year I’ll get a motorcycle.
