The first year I started out teaching C++ with 8 or 10 kids. After 2 weeks I was down to 3. The kids wanted an easy A and left when they found out it was work. One of the 3 left at the end of 9 weeks.
Second semester I switched to embedded systems. After a few weeks I asked one of the two remaining students to leave. He was not doing the work. I had a single student most of the 2nd semester who graduated and enrolled in a university CS program.
This past year I started with best friend and younger brother of last years student. The student I asked to leave the previous year was back for 1 semester.
The other two students from last year will be back along with 3 or 4 new kids.

What if you on the first day show them walter, and say with some learning and teaching you can make your own? As for parts have like a 20$ lab fee so you dont break the bank buying stuff, that's what our HS ceramics class does (I did not take ceramics).Posted 5th July 2008 at 09:00 PM by Krumlink
