Students are really, really falling off. I can feel their anxiety over exit exams and other issues. The theft is demoralizing and drug/alcohol abuse is rampant. One the bright side I have several students who are 100% on point. So as a science teacher it is difficult having so many students constantly missing so many days then returning to class flashing over the lack of time that I can spend catching them up. Maybe its time for B*TECH honors classes. This is my problem how do you deal with students who have basically checked out?

I agree that the morale has plummeted. I am also feeling frustrated, not sure what additional steps I can take to combat this.

ditto...to everything, but especially the honors classes. We also have to figure out how to protect OUR own morale in light of the waning atmosphere on campus.
