Hi Heather,
Well said in relation to working with diverse students with different academic skills as well as motivation levels. You make a good point about how you must hold the standards of the course since you are helping them to get the skills they need to be successful in career field. Listening and being aware of their personal issues is important but it cannot take away from the end goal of the class. They have to do the work and develop the required skills.
