Class Punishment

The class I wrote about before, with respect to being lazy . . .

I went to class 20 minutes early and asked them if they had done their homework.

"Yes, teacher."

Then they returned their attention to their cell phones.

When it came time to check homework it turns out that no, they had not completed it.  20 minutes would have allowed them enough time to do so, even though they should have done the homework at, well, home.

Sigh . . . 6th grade students already acting like middle schoolers (and here me being more cynical than ever).

The next night that they have class, in accordance with our previous agreement, they will stay at the academy 1 hour later.
