[QUOTE="nvts, post: 201083, member: 3814"] I had a friend who had to help cover a class ( just a parent mind you - NO educational background except for scary nuns with rulers!) for a couple of days while a teacher was on a "death in the family" leave. She had the demons for 4 days. The first day was a living hell...all girls Catholic school (my alma mater) and they were giving her a run for her money. I gave her my opinion. I told her to tell the ones that weren't interested in the class to do anything they wanted as long as they weren't distracting the others that DID want to pass and that she would cover things pertinent to their future with the "disinterested parties" in the last 2 mins of the period. At the end of the period she was to instruct them to "repeat after me". "Welcome to McDonalds, may I take your order" and "Do you want fries with that?" Mind you, this is how I finally got my "at the time" 8 year old to do his homework - but the point was made. Now. Go get the blender, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, milk, Hersheys syrup, a shot of vodka, a shot of Kahlua and ice. Mix, blend, big glass, straw, hot bath. Relax! Don't let them intimidate you. Don't bother telling them that they're being disrespectful - they already know that. Start teaching the lesson, but speak in a voice about 10 decibals lower than you ordinarily do. If they keep ignoring you, keep going and in the last 15 mins. of the period, have them write a paper on what they learned during this class. Moooohahahaha!!!! Beth [/QUOTE]
