Throwing a fit over honors
I teach 9th grade honors English. If they want to take English 10 honors, there are some requirements: they must have a B or higher in their current class and their current teacher must sign off on their scheduling paper, which we can refuse to do if we have good cause.
A student came to me today wanting me to sign off on their English 10 honors.
They currently have a D in my general English class. They refuse to do work, ask for makeup work weeks later, don't do it then either, and are also generally a behavior problem. So of course I said no. All else aside, they don't meet the grade requirement.
This child threw a fit. Like a full on tantrum. Too bad, maybe do your work next year. I can't fathom why they want to take honors anyway, given their current attitude toward doing work.
