A great high school class...

    People tend to be quick to criticize students sometimes for their behavior
    problems... so I wanted to share what happened in one of my high school
    classes this week.

    I have been working on something important for the school, so at times I've
    had to leave my class for a few minutes. One day, I was standing in the
    hall as my students entered the classroom. Before I was able to go in and
    get them started, I was called away to help make a decision about
    something...and it ended up being 25 minutes before I got to my classroom.

    When I went in, I went to check the attendance on the scan sheet. A student
    told me that he had already done that and had put the scan sheet out to be
    picked up. Then I took a look around the room and saw that ALL of the
    students had gotten their work out and were all quiet and busily working as
    if I had been there the whole time. They were actually quieter than they
    usually are. I was really proud of that class...since then, I've had to
    leave them again (without a teacher in charge)...and they came through again
    for me.

    It's wonderful to have classes like this.
