Just pour the information in my brain Señora

I got so frustrated with a few of my Spanish II students this morning. I handed back tests and told students to look through them and ask questions. I like being able to go around individually and talk with students who have questions. Two students sat their staring into space not even looking at their tests. Then after about ten minutes there were no longer any questions so I told them we were going to move on and that I was going to be collecting the tests. These two students then got all upset asking me why I wasn't going to go over the whole test as a class. I explained that we had just spent time for them to look through them and ask questions. And I said to them both that they were welcome to come in outside of class and I would go through it with them. Their response was they can't do that. And that they expected me to go over it with the whole class.

When I go over homework, tests, etc. with the whole class a few carefully look through theirs, others half-heartedly correct theirs, and the rest just sit there and stare into space. So those few carefully going through theirs get a lot out of it and the rest really don't get much. If I circulate and answer specific questions, it forces students to look at their mistakes and first try and figure out what went wrong and then second enter in a dialogue with me. So much more learning goes on. Unfortunately though, those that would have just stared off into space while we went over it together still stare off into space and still get nothing out of it.

And then as we were going over some pronunciation exercises and dividing syllables to find stress, they made me question how an English word was spelled (which I was right on when I looked it up later) and some kid says quietly "Go back to English class." It was just an awful class today. I'm not sure where to go with this tomorrow.
