I Pray to Jesus today

Dear God, pray to You today……..
I’ve done my correction for remedial test last week, and I was so upset because some of my students did not write their class/number or both and some even write their nickname.
I have about 177 students to teach and the remedial test was held by joining 2/more classes in a day. I held the test in two days and I join the result afterward, so……could You imagine my trouble? Some of their absent numbers even not the same with my data. So……finally it takes more time to input the score and also my emotion.
From the beginning of my lesson, I already write that they shouldn’t forget to write their name/class/number ALWAYS at the top right side of the header for every book, assignment, homework, project, etc.
I even give bold warning to them to read the instruction, and they don’t pay attention. I know the ‘X students’ are not much compare to the others, but I hope I could use my time for other things, another correction? Another handout? Another exercise? Another upload for my blog? AAAAAAAAAAAAARrrrghhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!
You know what? Next time I shouldn’t hesitate to throw those works in my trash bin, gosh!!!!!
A simple thing to do, and they have no idea how this thing disservices themselves and their friends to have better and more prepared lesson.
If You have any idea how to make them have empathy to do this simple thing, I’m welcome to any suggestion. (somebody help me?!!!???!!!)
Do You know that until today there are 4 results that I haven’t input the score because of it?
And after I input all of their score, I found out that there are 11 students that had not attend to the remedial/make up daily test for chapter one? Even though before I made the schedule I already ask them do they have another remedial that day? And did any of them come that day to give me any explanation? Nope!! They wait until I come to their class to teach, and most of them did not even mention about it. I wish they could think further the cause of their action, but do I expect too much from them?
Too early to decide, but I still haven’t got the right time to do that, see….beside busy looking for their class to put the score, I have to work on my lesson plan, make the hand out, worksheet, presentation, search for teaching material that is up to date but easy to understand, eat, the past two month I haven’t finished a novel although I stayed late and sleep in the morning.
God please blessed me with passion and health to survive this. I do my best to improve my teaching skills and knowledge although sometimes I want to scream. I know with You by my side I will be able to make further step to be a good teacher. Amien .
