[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teacher on lunch break:

OMG THE NO CELL PHONES THING IS AMAZING! For the first time in YEARS kids are talking to each other. They are introducing themselves, willingly playing my silly ice breakers, fully engaging with their peers.

If you haven't been in a classroom recently, you have no idea how much they've taken over and how little footing we had to restrict them.  Today felt like when I started 20 years ago.[/quote]

No way you are a middle school teacher on the first day of school, with little time to eat and thinking you will take those few min to post here. Again, on the FIRST day of school.  Maybe you have the last lunch to actually have a noon lunch and not in the 10 or 11am hour.  -former MS teacher[/quote]

Okay. I'm a 20 year veteran middle school teacher. My first week is planned out, copied, organized. I can't plan beyond that until I know where my kids are (they are taking pretests and I'm meeting with small groups starting Friday). I'm twiddling thumbs at lunch this week waiting until I have grading to do and data to analyze.  The first week is probably the slowest week of the year. We were mandated to do nothing but "relationship building" for the first 4 days, content can start Friday.[/quote]
