I know this is too much to ask. Quite forward of me, really. I need to be called on the carpet and given a stern talking-to for even suggesting it. But if it's not too much trouble, could you pupils please...
turn in today's work
put your name on your paper
turn in both pages of the two-page assignment
lay your two pages on the tops of the turn-in stacks, side by side
turn over the paper and do the back
actually write 15 letters in the 15 lines for the 15 matching questions
bring your book to class
not ask to borrow a book, which has been against classroom policy all year
stay in your seat and not shoot baskets with yesterday's returned assignment
make it 50 minutes without a potty break
make it 50 minutes without a drink break
As The Raven apparently said last year on an essay test of, what else, The Raven:
"That is all."
I'd be happy if they could wait for more than 60 minutes without a potty break.
ReplyDeleteSome students must have a bladder the size of a pecan. However, if they were playing outside--magically--their bladder increases its capacity.
It's a miracle!

ReplyDeleteAnd I'm sure they refer to their tiny bladder as a PEE-CAN.
