Government class. They were working on an outline of the U.S. Constitution. (It was actually a great way to make them go through it carefully.)
Certain teachers are fairly strict about things like cell phones and eating in class. Ms. M is one of those. She even has it posted in her class rules:
 |
| Note Rule #5 |
Really? That's not what it says in her posted rules.
"Oh, that? That's just for show. Because it's a school rule. She doesn't mean it."
Uh huh. Sure. Let's see how Ms. M reacts to that little tidbit. They really should know by now I write down things like that.
I guess they think rules are made to be broken. It will be interesting to see what the teachers says.
ReplyDeleteShe was not pleased. (I talked to her the next day.) Apparently, the next door teacher is a bit of a slob and has a roach problem. She wants no roaches in her classroom, so the no food rule is strictly enforced because of this.
DeleteThey are in trouble for sure and you might hear about it the next time you have to sub for her class.
ReplyDeleteI ran into her the next day. She was not pleased.
DeleteI just think its a good habit not to be eating at your desk; too messy and potential of spills, etc. Good rule to be enforced I think in most situations!
ReplyDeletebetty
They really think substitutes are dumb, don't they?
ReplyDeleteYeah, they think subs are stupid...
ReplyDeleteThey do. And they've known me since they were in the 7th grade, so they should realize. But, teens.
DeleteWhy do we do think we're bad ass for not following rules when subs are around?
ReplyDeleteJust for show. Eyeroll. They think they can get away with anything at that age.
ReplyDeleteHehe, nice try kids.
ReplyDeleteThey keep trying...
DeleteShaking my head once again!
ReplyDeleteYup.
DeleteDid the students get an "A" for effort? It was a good try
ReplyDeleteMeh. As far as excuses go, it was rather weak. I've heard better.
DeleteIt was there in black and white and they still argued!
ReplyDeleteOh yeah. Don't they try that with you? That's just the jumping off place for negotiations.
DeleteGood on you for making notes. I hope they get their just reward. ~nods~ Meanwhile, I'm sorry I’ve been absent so long. During our extended visit to the Outer Banks of North Carolina we ended up having poor Internet connectivity. I really didn’t miss social media, just some people (you among them!). My first full day back, I’m dipping my toe back in. I hope you are well, my dear.
ReplyDeleteNo worries. We all deserve vacations from time to time.
DeleteLol. Yep, they should know... but when did kids apply logic?
