First Day of the Semester
I’m calling role and I get to a student that has the same first name as another. I ask him if there’s a nickname he prefers being called. “Tourettes!” He calls out. I reply: “No, I am not going to call you that.”
I have a lawyer in the classroom…
Two 7th grade students started to use a ruler as a catapult for an eraser. I caught them and asked them to go to the corner by my desk to talk with them about their behavior. As I was directing the two, a third came in front of me and announced: “you can’t talk to them unless you go through me! I’m representing them.”
“You’re what?” Was my reply.
“I’m their lawyer and you can’t talk to them until you talk to me first.”
