Just keep on swimming.
If your school is anything like mine, the end is in sight.
For good or for ill the end of the semester is in site. 4 weeks, 5 weeks, 6 weeks away.
Time to buckle down to do the end-of-semester assignments. For me, I have 5 assignments before the end. Well, four with the 5th being a presentation of one of the 4.
The semester that started with so many assignments now has 5.
I bet the same is true for your student.
But don’t forget to remind them to take a breath, and take a moment to reflect on the semester.
This is not the time for self-recrimination. They’ve kept swimming. Through calm waters and through storms the only way out is through.
Grade chasing for that A need not apply. The focus right now is to finish the semester.
