Miki was in a foul mood today when I went to tutor her. Her ESL teacher had given her, and only her, homework over spring break. It's frustrating enough to have homework during your break, but to be the only one who has to do the homework is just rough. Miki hates homework, so she was really frustrated about it. I think she also may have been embarrassed.
I can understand why her ESL teacher gave her the extra work. Miki is stubbornly resisting learning English, and her ESL teacher just wants to help push her to learn a bit more. But I can also see Miki's point of view - why should she have to do work over spring break if the other students don't have to? It's humiliating.
I remain neutral.
