[QUOTE="aeditha17, post: 130229, member: 4486"] Y'know, there is something about teachers who take a little think like that to the extreme that just chaps my hide! She should have simply and quietly, meant for only him, told him to stop. Sometimes the smart remarks come because they have been called out in front of everyone and they are trying to save face. If she had gone over to him while the others were on assignment and leaned over quietly, made eye contact and said "Please stop drumming your fingers, it is distracting me. Thanks" I bet he would have responded appropriately. Kids like our spend their lives defending themselves and it is knee-jerk to lash at even little things. I just got an email from my 11 y/o's teacher crying disrespect because he had the audacity to rearrange his take home papers out of the order she mandated. What?!?!?!? He has ADHD like a son of a gun - order of papers in a take home folder is a ridiculous issue - i am thankful if they get home at all! Does this teacher of his have children? I find that the most trouble I have is with the young teachers how have no children. They simply don't have any real-work experience to draw from. OK. I'm done. {{HUGS}} Brandi [/QUOTE]
