No Control

Taught the second years again for the 4th time. Not sure how I've managed that since I'm only supposed to see them once every other week. Even so, they still have no respect for me and I've given up trying to enforce any discipline.

We played hangman, pictionary, and another game where you have to describe an object without saying what it is. There's a game like it I've played at Hannah's, but I can't remember it's name. They didn't participate well in any of them: Keisuke didn't want to guess letters in hangman, and they couldn't descibe anything using words; resorting to actions and sound effects in most cases. I given up caring, to be honest - it's only an after school extra thing anyway.

I've got another vocab test tomorrow, so I'm off to revise for that.

I think you have to use one as an example .... that's what one of my schoolteacher aunts used to do!

Heck, you measure how tall the culprit is, draw a circle on the blackboard that they can just put their nose in IF they stand on tiptoe, THEN have them stand there for half-an-hour trying to keep their nose in the circle! It provides entertainment and an object lesson for both the miscreant and the rest of the class.

At least it worked in the 1960's in Kentucky!

Ha!
