Very Disappointed In One of My Students and Myself
I asked her yesterday before class if she had voted. "No". I asked her if she was registered. "No". I thought there was still time, but another student pointed out that the last day to register to vote in the mid-terms was Monday. What really gets me is that this student is extremely conscientious in her work. She pays attention, asks good questions, keeps up with everything, and turns in good essays. She is one student whom I felt I could rely on to take voting seriously. I'm feeling disappointed in my students and myself. I'm disappointed in her for not realizing the importance of her vote. I'm disappointed in myself because I feel I've failed to remind my students of that importance.

Thanks!
She can still register to vote by mail till next Monday! That's my next class with her, so I will have to tell her about it.
Thanks for making me look!
... last available permissible date to register in your local. Then next year make numerous mentions of that fact to remind your students to register and vote. Are you allowed to have blank voter registration forms on hand to make it more convenient for them then you can hand them in at the voter registrar's office.
Good luck, thanks for motivating them.
