It always amazes me how many students fail to turn in most of their work. They may have done it. In class. In front of me. But it never makes it to the "turn in" box. Really?!? Even if I say "BE SURE TO TURN IN YOUR ____ BEFORE THE BELL RINGS!" It drives me nuts.
Grades were due yesterday at 3pm and I have 4th block planning. In other words, I had time to grade and enter missing work turned in last minute. So, I left the following message on my white board:
"TURN IN ANY LAST MINUTE MISSING WORK THAT YOU HAVE!!!"
To which my students during 1st block added:
"OR ELSE!"
To which my students during 2nd block added:
"I WILL EAT YOUR FACE"
To which my students during during 3rd block added:
"RAWR"
So, by the end of the day, my board read, "TURN IN ANY LAST MINUTE MISSING WORK THAT YOU HAVE OR ELSE I WILL EAT YOUR FACE RAWR!!"
Maybe I should stop telling the kids that my baby will eat them if they don't do their work?
Nah.
Did you ask your husband if he remembers how to do school work and not turn it in? Granted he was a bit younger than your students when he did it most.
ReplyDeleteMaybe they're hiding it in the Sears catalog in the bathroom?
ReplyDeleteOh no wait... that's only for graded papers. ;)
Your students are witty! :)
