You can head them off at the pass before their excuses get all long-winded and steal valuable instruction minutes.<br /><br />*************<br />Stephen,<br />I am always cautious. Not a risk-taker here. My initial responses have saved me several times.<br /><br />*************<br />Linda,<br />The problem is in listening to other people's guts when they have gas.<br /><br />*************<br />Tammy,<br />I need to read that book again.

Quick! Put a trashcan right next to them.<br /><br />Is the school secretary preoccupied with something else, and isn't paying attention to the vault, full of valuables--like Sharpies and dry erase markers and jumbo paper clips? Quick! Slip in there, and stuff a couple of Sharpies into your pocket and leave the vault with a single red pen in your hand.<br /><br />You sense the principal is out of the building and there's only two more weeks of school? Hurry! Head out to the playground for a "math" activity--it's room 9 vs. room 11 in a kickball tournament--and later we will "graph" the score of each inning and interpret the tally chart.<br /><br />Oh yes...teachers and their ability to read vibes...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
