Care to elaborate, or can we just make stuff up?

Well, I'm just at summer break from the university, and I teach . . . I don't want to go with specific details, but I can't get through to this one kid, and it's really bothering me, I'm distracted, I can't enjoy myself, I even came home early from going out because I was so down . . . :|:|:|

I've been teaching for at least two years, over 200 kids, but I've never had a kid who was like this. And I feel just avsolutely rotten telling the father what is going on . . ..

The problem is, I'm really passionate (borderline obsessive, I suppose) about what i teach. And I feel that I've been successful in my attmepts to share my joy in what I do with the kids I teach. But this one . . . :|:|:| I'm losing sleep over this kid.

That's too bad about that kid, but you can't realistically expect to change the lives of every student you teach. Just do you best, and try not to let it get to you, otherwise you'll burn yourself out and won't be able to help anybody.
