Venting time:
I HATE when I ask chatty students to stop talking and they don't even acknowledge me, continuing to talk as though I had said nothing. It's bothering me even more than yesterday.
It gets better when the same students then call out to ask me a question and are pissed off when I don't respond to them right away.
Oh my gosh!! I know you want attention, but you are 15 years old and in 10th grade! Exercise some self-control!
i started smacking kids with a yard stick today = quick fix; they'll acknowledge you
