How this teacher manages: instead of having classroom jobs, she had a boy and girl “helping hand” of the day. The two helpers were responsible for all of the classroom jobs (line leader, door holder, running errands, etc.) Just write each students’ name on a cutout of a hand and hang the hands on the wall and flip the hands each day. It is such a super easy system, and it works out so that students get to be a helper about once every other week.

Though if you separate it randomly instead of by gender you keep any possible trans* students from feeling uncomfortable.

Share on Facebook. Retweet. Learn more.
On the first day of school, have students introduce themselves with the name they would like to be called instead of reading off a roster. This gives trans* youth (and anyone else who doesn’t like their legal name) a chance to share the name they are most comfortable with.

Today in British Literature, we were reading Beowulf and we got to the part where Beowulf rips off Grendel’s arm and hangs it in Herot, and I looked over to my teacher and he had this stupid grin on his face so I looked up and saw tHIS.

just gonna reblog/signal boost this because I have a better picture and this was a thing that actually happened

so I told my teacher about this post and all he had to say was “make me internet famous.”

Here are two math problems that students may be able to figure out, but it will stump their parents.

Do these problems in class then have the students bring them home to help their parents. (Second problem is about 5th grade level, and the first one is unknown to me.)

1. I saw a tree with apples on it. I neither took apples nor left apples. How many apples were on the tree?

Answer: The plural on the apples gives it away. We know there was more than one apple on the tree when it was first seen. We know they didn’t take more than one apple, and we also know that the person didn’t leave more than one apple, so by process of elimination there were two apples on the tree.

2. You are walking through a gallery and you come to a man looking at a portrait. You ask him, “Whose picture is that?” He answers, “Brothers and sisters have I none. That man’s father to my father’s son.” Whose picture are you looking at?

Answer: You are looking at a picture of the speaker. When the speaker ends his statement with, “My father’s son,” you know he is referring to himself, so that phrase can be replaced with “myself”.

Is College Worth It?

In which John ponders whether a college degree is worth the high tuition, student loans, opportunity cost, and low-paying entry-level positions involved. Is the cost involved worth the returns? Is this even a simple economic question, or are there intangible benefits that come along with education?

Just what I needed. Thanks John!

My first ever bulletin board!

It’s off center, but I give approximately zero bothers. This absent work board was my mentor teacher’s best idea.

Great idea! Now the hard part: keeping it updated.
