"Just yell at your students... Not that they are in trouble, but they are hostages... Beat them with knowledge."
-said by my brilliant friend Bess, who is student teaching, plays in a washboard band, and has a daddy that resembles Mr. Miyagi...a lot
"After lunch the clock moves much slowly than our students do. Your class begins to remind you of a bar full of little drunk people: They want constant attention and often don’t realize how loud they are talking. They have short attention spans; rarely think of the consequences of their actions; and, as you will find out tomorrow, they don’t always remember what happened the day before.”
-From the brilliant book, "See Me After Class: Advice for Teachers by Teachers" by Roxanna Elden
