I work as a teacher and feel I am connecting with most of my adult students but I am afraid I am boring some of them to tears. My student evaluations have been excellent in most cases, but some students are just not interested in what I have to say or classroom activities.
In my last class two of the ADULT CERTIFICATE PROGRAM students put their heads on the desk and appeared to go to sleep. The other students did not seem shocked or paid any attention to the sleepers.
Because they are adults on a pass fail class, should I just ignore the bored students who put their heads on the desk, or pull them out of class? Or fail them? (If I fail them they will return to my class next term all angry)
