I teach high school Math – mostly Algebra I – and recently had something interesting happen. One of my students – a freshman girl – was reading a magazine in class. I told her “I need you to put the magazine away.” She then tells me, “Well, I need you to shut the hell up.” Well, I was stunned because while this girl was certainly n...See More

Wow, how can I give this mother an award? Finally, a parent with some common sense. Mom took action and made her point. Why, oh why do I have to teach in an era when most ...See More

Also, any suggestions for posting/dispersing work from previous days to students who were absent? Currently, my students crowd around my desk and ...See More

I heavily monitor this in the beginning of the year to make sure kids know they need to do it and that I expect them to get to work as soon as they walk in the room. After a while, it becomes routine and then I just write the "Do Now" on the board, so to save paper.

I also have a homework binder for each class. It contains the instructions and handouts for the week. I update it once a week to include the entire week. I usually put the left-over handouts in it after classes have received it. Students know to pick up any handouts and take a picture (with their ever present cell phones) of the instructions I've written down.
