Imperical Evidence
Transcript of a conversation I had with a child this morning whose brother, Jaime, was in my class two years ago: Me: Isreal, where's your homework? Isreal: At home. Me: Why? Isreal [with a shrug and a grin]: Because it's homework? Me [nodding]: I see the problem. Let's call it recess work then. I'll give you another paper and you can stay in and finish it. Isreal [bug-eyed]: I'll bring it tomorrow! Me [shaking my head]: Sorry, kid, too late. Isreal [slumping into seat and mumbling]: Jaime told me it wouldn't work.

funny..
that gutsy kid tried..i wouldn't have ever had the guts..
thank you for always making us smile with your in class stories.
man, he had the inside scoop from his brother and everything. Your reputation preceeds you. Guess he'll be doing his homework more often now, huh?
How do you think of those snappy come backs so fast? That's why I could never have been a teacher, the kids are all smarter than me!
haha thats cute! Jaime must have already warned him about you!!! lol
another funny story. A lesson hopefully learned and not forgotten.
I've answered your question in my last post, I don't even have the energy to copy and paste.
Later
Kids do the darndest things! Love reading about your interactions with the kids!! BTW you arent still mad at me are you? :(
ha...love smart teaches that are a tad smart ass...
Some people must learn through experience.
Hi Quilldancer,
empirical evidence
Do you ever let them get away with lame excuses - even if he'd claimed the dog had ate his homework, he would have still had to do it
Man, I wish my kids had you for a teacher!
My son's gym teacher called and said he disprupted the class five times and she had to stop the class. My question is "Why did she let him get away with it FIVE times?"(She talked to hubby and not me). I would have had him sit out after the second incident. Is it me or am I being a parent who does not understand teaching? I need to know and Ithtink I am going to call a meeting with all his teachers because it seems liek everyone is too soft on this kid.
ROTFLMAO!
Oh, but it was worth a try! Quilly-Sister, you are just too quick for these kids. That's a good thing. Kids are so smart now, and you better be smarter or they'll mow you down! LOL
Hi Quilly,
Hope all is well, cute story, take care. God bless
*LOL* I love it, that's a good one, why didn't I think of that when I was in shcool?
I think his homework will now be done.
hehehehe... good job!
