Teachers and former teachers check in: How many think the last week of school is the hardest? [View all]

Students are mentally checked out for summer.

Our minds are checking out for summer.

Administration becomes completely draconian and heavy-handed.

And trying to teach anything is a complete waste of time because it's the last week.

What do you do? I normally allow students to go to other teachers if they need help or show videos (historical ones) because I still want students to learn things.

One thing I can say is I got most of my students off drinking soda. I bring in those individual Crystal Light flavorings and they inhale them. I've noticed the students have more pep and have lost some weight too.
