Bitchy, bitchy, bitchy
An assistant principal reminded me- you don't hate the student, you hate the behavior.
Let's just say that a couple of behaviors should be thrown out the window. I have this one kid who exhibits some pretty horrible behavior. On Monday he screamed/shrieked every two minutes, threw cubes (it was a volume experiment), and knocked another kid into some desks. This is not an isolated occurrence. He threatens other teachers, steals, and has none of the student honor stuff (don't snitch, don't steal from your best friend, that kind of thing).
Of the 35 homeworks assigned this quarter, he has completed 2. He asks me yesterday if he's passing for the quarter ending today. I tell him he's failing. He asks me what he can do to pass. He asks this on the day before the last day of the quarter.
What can you do, little student? I don't know, get in a time machine, go back to the beginning of the year, and stop being a little shit. How about that?

Ugh, I used to HATE that. Shall we place bets on when the parents will come in and complain that you're not doing enough to help their student pass your class? (Chip off the ol' block syndrome)

I agree with Alan 100%. Little bastard (the student, not Alan!).

I think all kids like that should be posted on the internet, like the FBI has but not on such a serious site. Maybe a site run by other students, so whoever is on there becomes the laughing stock of the universe to all his/her peers.
Either that or post his name and maybe I'll give 'em a scare.

I don't know how you put up with it, I really don't.

Aren't you in the running to be the next pope?

What Alan said! I'll also add that I doubt the parents even know how much work the kid has or hasn't done.
