At What Point Do You Give Up?

8... 5... 3... At what point does the class become a mockery. At what point is it no longer worth pursuing. I know the rest of the term is required by the friendship I hold with the students and one's need for credit but will it really continue further? I don't like feeling silly unless that is the point. I don't like feeling like I have to explain and justify these things but that my justification keep dying. I don't want to die.

That sounds incredibly depressing :( So you only have three students left?

But, I am sure it is meaningful to them. Sometimes, small can be better anyway.

I tried pretty hard to keep my brother in it for her but my mother has more power then I do. She is the one that drives him everywhere after all. Plus with the problems he has he needs to focus as hard as possible on as little as possible. I didn't tell you this earlier daphne but my mom spent the better part of three or four hours writing that paper with my brother. He's a slow typer and has a real tough time stringing thoughts together in a way that makes sense. She ended up typing most of it and had to nudge him along in the thought department. Its just something he's never been good at. But considering even I had some trouble understanding a few of the questions you asked I don't blame him as much as I did before. Heaven help him when he gets to college. Double for mom.
