Today I was teaching my class how to fold and cut paper to make a book that does not require staples. While I was in the middle of explaining the instructions one of my students called out (with an attitude):
"Mrs. Thornal! Can't you please just be quiet so I can think!"
WHOA! If I had been quick on my feet I could have responded to the usually chatty girl with, "Can't you please just be quiet while I try to teach?" Good grief! When I talked to her about this later, she responded with, "Well at least I said please."
Looking back on the situation I can laugh, but at the time I didn't find it so funny.
I just love when those little darlings interrupt my teaching.
ReplyDeleteI prayed all the way to school today for a good attitude, since we started our 4 week TAKS review today.
I was fine until 4th period. They are just so low...sweet kids..but low. They just don't get it, and they don't care. It is frustrating!
Hmm...that is pretty funny. Last year I actually had the same thought as that little girl... we were supposed to be taking a quiz in one of our classes and the professor just would NOT stop talking...I wish I had the guts of that little girl! :)
