If you would have bent over backwards to help that intern out, she would have probably told a slacker friend or two about your company and before you knew it, you would have been drowning in slackers interested in being given the extra attention and the easy grade/ papers filled out. So, I would keep making it harder for them to get into your company. The real world doesn't give extra chances. The real world would have slammed the door in her face. The fact that you let her make her excuses for a while shows that you were giving her chances. <br />Ok... enough of my thought for one day... my head hurts!

Yes I definitely could have invested more time in that intern. It's hard to balance what needs to be done with extra time spent coaching which is exactly why I've narrowed down interns to one or two per year. No need to apologize, I welcome criticism!R.

Sorry.<br /><br />Yes, that intern was out of place (unacceptable lies) and yes, you did the right thing, no other option. But at the same time, maybe she/he needs guidance. I work with students (who aren't even close to intern level yet) and see how much work needs to be done. Maybe I'm just a softie? <br /><br />Again sorry, don't mean to offend.Caterinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09756751514348823750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36796698.post-55059223780334032172010-12-02T15:06:28.464-05:002010-12-02T15:06:28.464-05:00I find that some students have just not grown up y...I find that some students have just not grown up yet.

I have only been in the position to tell one person that they didn't have what it takes to be a teacher and that was such a hard conversation! On the other hand, the student teacher we have right now is tremendous and I hope she gets a full time job!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06970697186745968645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36796698.post-29570163213552289112010-12-01T09:56:21.419-05:002010-12-01T09:56:21.419-05:00It is mind blowing how people can blow off work li...It is mind blowing how people can blow off work like that bad intern and think they can get away with it!
