Second week of school
Well my second week of school has been great compared to reading some of the other blogs. My students I would say the major problem I have is that the students love to wear very high heel shoes and love to wear there toes out. I told the whole class to bring a extra pair of shoes and to put them in their locker so they will have no excuse to miss the lab work. I told the students that if they did not wear closed toed shoes they will write until their fingers got tired. A couple of students found that out they had to write for a whole hour. I do not see any more toes those students just help set a example. You don't play with mother nature Ms. Taylor. LOL LOL
I have had similar problems with the shoes issue. They try to wear flip-flops to auto shop! Here is what has worked with my more hard headed kids; on a day when I allow a repeat offender bring his own car in for service I look at his feet and say "Sorry, go sit down while the rest of us work on your car". That seems to really do the trick in my particular environment.
