I don’t care, as long as they don’t talk, don’t get up, and don’t ask questions…….

I would rather be in B class. As a teacher we have to put anything in a positive way. Positive sentence is importance for gaining positive behavior.

As either teacher or student I would rather be in the second room. I would go out of my mind in the first room. Plus it is hard to see how real lasting learning could go on in the first room.

Nicely put.

As an intern, I’m finding out that I thought I was more of an “A” personality – chatter used to really bug me – but I’m really more of a “B” person. In the classes I’ve been working in I have found that students learn so much more authentically when they share ideas with each other.
Also, you can tell when it’s gone from learning to goofing off pretty easily. Then it’s time to reign them back in and get them refocused.

My class has less traditional rules–some of them are:
No Whining
No Wandering
No Raising Hand When Others Are Speaking
No Changing Subject in the Middle of a Discussion
No Inappropriate Pencil Action
Don’t say Can’t, Won’t or Bored
Do Your Best
I teach gifted kids K-6, we love to share the rules!! (Each rule actually has a serious message behind it.)
