teacher injured his back and had to wear a plaster cast around the upper part of his body.
He wore it under his shirt and it was not noticeable at all.
On the first day of the term, still with the cast under his shirt, he found himself assigned to the toughest class in the school.
Walking confidently into the rowdy classroom, he opened the window as wide as possible and then busied himself with desk work.
The classroom became a bit unruly and he admonished them.
This happened several times.
While working at his desk, the strong breeze from the window made his tie flap annoyingly.
He kept rearranging and rearranging the tie as the class become more and more unmanageable.
Finally, becoming disgusted with the wayward tie, he stood up and took a big stapler off his desk and stapled the tie to his chest in several places.
Discipline was not a problem from that day forth!!
As a teacher, I beg you (well, everyone in the world, actually) to discipline your kids at home! I can not work miracles!! While I enforce discipline in my classroom, the bottom line is if you let your kid be a terror at home, they are going to try it at school too. And in the grocery store. And in the dr's office. And pretty much anywhere you take them.
It is a teacher's job to teach a curriculum, not to parent 30 children a year.
