I had no real problems with discipline. I kept a list of all of their parents' work phone numbers on a sheet by my desk. When one of them got out of line, I would hand the little bastard my cell phone and have them call their parent right then in front of the class and tell them what they were doing. When they said, "But I'm not doing anything", I would say "Fine. Then tell your mother that Mr. Allman made you call them because you're not doing anything."
Discipline was not an issue after the first couple of weeks. |
Great idea....either they were doing something they shouldn't or not doing something that they should..
I was short a few HS credits (24 was the min, and the max, you had to have all of them) and had to take the GED exam to get into the Navy, and got 90% average if I could have removed the literature score, which was 58. I always enjoyed reading, but once I got past the age of about 16, fiction became the least desired category for me....
