 |

You'll collect a fair number of hankies on Teacher's Day. While you may have visions of your grandfather, bear in mind:
a) they're "green" (umm I mean environmentally friendly... not green after use)
b) they're great for kid crowd control.
It works like this. Demonstrate at the start of the class your hankie is well used. Blow your nose into it. If the kids jump out of their seats, try to run to the blackboard to play with chalk, produce the hankie again and threaten to touch their exposed flesh with it.
You'll have to endure howls of "dirty teacher!" but they will promptly return to their seats.
More humane than a cattle prod albeit half the fun. |

I'm with you. I myself have tried to figure out how to run a hose from the end of a car's tail pipe, up 8 floors, and into my classroom. They're usually in the class 10 minutes before me. If I can get them huffing some carbon monoxide they might be reasonably docile. |
