As a teachers union rep: if you call me to say you got written up for using these strategies, I’m gonna do my best to represent you but I’m gonna sigh a lot.

Teachers at the beginning of the year: this is obviously a joke. Teachers at the end of the year: it’s worth a shot.

My English teacher had read all the Game of Thrones books when the show started. If we misbehaved she’d write the name of a character who dies on the white board and spoil it for us. 😂

You know kids aren’t falling asleep on purpose….? They’re falling asleep because in the time of their development where they need the most hours of sleep in their entire lives, they usually get the least.

TBH, stopping everything to have the student call the parent to tell them why the teacher had to stop teaching is 100% effective. No speaker phone needed.

The spray bottle, but instead of water it's watered down mayo

I have an app on my phone that has Freddy saying “it’s me Freddy the man of your dreams” I turn the volume all the way up and play it behind the sleeping head. 😂

LOL you say toxic, I say “creative and effective”. As a mom to a son, I 100% approve of all these. 😁 I hope my son has a teacher like you when he gets to middle school. Not just for this, but for your caring nature and wisdom ❤️🫡👍🏻

You can't do any of these unless you are generally loved by your students. And I believe you are!

I am suddenly super grateful for my high school chemistry teacher. He let me sleep in the front row of his class for an entire semester and gave me a giant hug of relief after I aced the final 😭 How he put up with me I will never know

Oh! I’ve also done “Who do you want me to call? (Mom name) or (Dad name)?” “Mom”. “Bet. Let’s call dad and see what he has to stay.” Kid: 😳😳

If I could’ve done this without losing my job I’d still be a teacher today.
