Keeping students on task is one of the most challenging aspects of a teacher's job. Getting them to do their work in the first place is part of that challenge. Here are a few funnies from the last couple of days:
First Scenario: Two seniors sitting in the computer area.
Me: School computers are for schoolwork only. What are you working on?
Student: Relaxing.
Me: That's not going to cut it. (to another student) What are you doing?
Other Student: Nothing.
Me: (Gives the "Lynch Look" / Death Glare)
First Student: You know, it would be a lot better for everyone if you wouldn't judge us. . .
Second Scenario: A class of Junior English.
Me: Okay. You're each going to read your part of the poem out loud.
Student: Do we have to stand up?
Me: Yes. You have to stand.
Another Student: Ms. Lynch, this isn't P.E..
I really do love my job! :-)
