Today’s post is very different form the usual offering. When I arrived at school this morning, there was a piece of paper on my desk with instructions from one of the students in my most difficult class offering some advice. Below, complete with teenage spelling / grammar is what it said.

How to Control a Physcotic Class
- Be Forceful. And do your threats. Give 1 warning
- Don’t start talking /teaching until everyone is quiet.
- Keep eye contact with everybody.
- Don’t make anyone start talking, if 1 student starts talking everyone else does to.
- Don’t take answers from anyone who doesn’t put their hand up.
- Be funny Eg. Make jokes in the lesson.
- Always look happy, unless you are telling someone off.
- Don’t show your anger. (Makes everyone laugh)
- Make everyone sit in proper posture
- Can sit with friends and can talk, but only after leson. Tell everyone, that if they are good they get all the spare time for talking after the lesson.
- Have music after lesson (Rock & Rap) (gag) ie: joking
- Best Student Chart. Best students of the day get a sticker in the Chart. The student with teh most stars by the end of the month gets chocolate.
(You’re just to nice to us
Give us discipline)

I am pleased that this student gave me the feedback and will of course try and incorporate *most* of her suggestions. It was interesting to see things from her point of view.
Today’s Gratitude Item: That one of my students was confident enough to give me written feedback. It was thought provoking, funny and great blog material.
Very interesting feedback from a very switched-on child. Have a great weekend Jenni and Give them Discipline! 🙂
How interesting that was. Are you going to incorporate the chocolate reward? lol
