If that happened, I just turned the class into a study hall, or maybe pulled out Scrabble or Uno or my Firefly DVDs and saved the lesson plan for the next day, because I was just going to have to do it over anyway. But, you know, I had the flexibility to make that decision.<br /><br />I can imagine that they weren't happy, so I'm glad that things went better than expected for you. :) M.J.
