This past weekend, I had similar thoughts. In all my classes, the majority of students are misbehaved. There is one class that I dread going to...students steal, cheat, hit each other, have been suspended and yet I am "forced" to encounter methods to make these kids pass.(These do not belong to a special program) I could easly fail them, but that doesn �t help and they really don �t care.  So I don �t give them major tests because that is too much to ask and it is a  waste of my time. I give them weekly quizzes with simple, simple things to do. They feel content because they are able to accomplish a task. I think we teachers need more ideas on how to deal with these cases. As my school pschologist stated " Teachers have to adapt to these problem cases and not the other way around!" It is a constant struggle!Better days will come our way!!! (I hope)
