No rest for the wicked
I can’t even wait to get home for this one.
It’s been a real challenge to teach in the heat this week and last. With a sharp increase in the temperature outside, our students have become lethargic and slow. It doesn’t help that my classroom can get to 85 degrees on the worst days, either. So today one of my 6th graders fell asleep during independent work. I usually just poke them awake, but decided to have some fun today.
I left Waheem sleeping as the bell rang, and dismissed his classmates in silence. I whispered to stay quiet as my next class crept to their seats. We started class, and about 5 minutes later he awoke to some chatter and realized what had happened. The look on that little boy’s face was priceless. Obviously embarrassed and probably terrified, he got up and left my classroom. I felt kind of bad about it, but it’s a lesson he won’t soon forget.
It got me through the day, at least.

I’ve thought about walking around with a spray bottle full of ice water. Do you think that could be construed as corporal punishment?
Oh, too funny – I’m sure he’ll never fall asleep in your class again!
Great sense of humor. Why don’t you just turn the air on?
Love,
Dad
You’re kinda evil, but I love it!
That is too funny and completely evil. Well done.
