Some of you are having a very difficult time with a number of concepts in this course: I have been there and done that: economics is a challenging subject. Assuming that you have spent four or more hours each week studying and practicing on your own but, try as you might, you still can't figure things out, I would like to help you. I can offer you extra practice, and I can provide you tutoring, but you have got to meet me on my terms:
I am available by 6:30 A.M. most mornings, and will stay after school until 6:00 P.M. if you need me.
I am available during my conference period, Period 6, and will help you during First Lunch as my cafeteria duties permit.
By appointment, I will give up my lunch (7th period) for you, as well (but reserve the right to eat and talk at the same time).
If you want to meet at the Tiffin-Seneca public library on Saturdays for half an hour or so, I will do that, by appointment (I belong to a number of organizations that meet on Saturday, so I am not always free).
If you cannot take advantage of any of those opportunities, then I don't know what to do for you, except to say "better luck next year!" Please... take your academic life seriously, and reach out for help when it is offered. I am quite fond of all of you, but I really don't want you in my classroom again next year. On the other hand...
