I hope that you are teaching the AP courses, because those kids are actually interested (or at least, their parents are pushing them). I taught entertainment industry brats at a private school. I'd have given a tooth for kids that wanted to be there, as opposed to sitting back in their chairs with their shoes up on the desk, picking their teeth, and asking, "When will we ever use this!?". My favorite question was "Why are you doing this to us!?". I told one of the other teachers that I should tell them "I've come for your soul. Give it to me now!" He had a chuckle out of that.
Do they try to teach physics and math to slackers in Germany?
It was a Waldorf school, so in that case, yes. Though I'm in the US.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
