Science Teacher Rule #82

There are multiple ways to deal with disruption. Sometimes it's difficult to figure out method to use.


Student (who when I asked if he had ever heard of ADHD responded 'no, they tested me for that'): messing around with something for six millionth time

Me: What the heck are you playing with now?

Student in the back:(loudly, exasperated) He's always playing with something!

Students up front: giggle giggle giggle


Me: in my head reprimand dirty minded students up front or ignore. reprimand and make all the sweet innocent kids figure out what's dirty. ignore and let the dirty kids think it's ok. reprimand and make the kid feel even more embarrassed. ignore. yell. ignore. yell. ignore. yell.

Meh.

Lazy way out.

Ignore.

And successfully keep from laughing myself
