See----again---it all boils down to FOOD! Money, food, and "you-know-what" always, always invites CONVERSATION!

Isn't that the truth. Real conversation starters. We also may want to add debt to that list. Isn't that how we all got here?

Of course----Our faculty meetings at school will usually go smoothly until someone mentions food and that can distract everyone. We solved that problem recently when we started signing up to bring food to the meetings! They are right after school so eveyone is always starving.

It is tough to have an after work meeting anyway, it seems like our staff loves to eat too, we are always eating for this or that, I always say that if someone breaths we have a luncheon.

I'd be there for the food. Now we have to get back on the subject or risk see our points magically disappear.

HAAAA! you have to BRIBE this teacher (j/k). I will do most anything (!) for candy! I have a jar of Skittles on my desk that I use for rewards and treats (1 skittle is the prize---you get 2 if you remember to say thank you). My students act like I am giving away big prizes and really work for that 1 Skittle.

I like how you included saying Thank You. Do you realize how little the phrase is used anymore. I really think manners is one of the best taught things to a child. you already know what education means to them and we all put this on top of the priority list. I really believe using manners should be there also. I love a well mannered child and it tells me alot about their parents and will benefit them later in life along with the education.

Manners were always a big thing in my house, so it kind of transferred over to my teaching. I also expect them to answer me and say either yes ma'm, no ma'm or yes, Mrs. Thomas, no, Mrs. Thomas. I expect them to answer me when they are spoken to (and that of course, is good manners). The parents appreciate it as well. I also am on them if they shrug their shoulders instead of answering me (a big petpeeve) or say "huh" or "yea".

Do I sound like a tough cookie? The kids all know you don't get away with much in my class, yet they all say "you're the best second grade teacher I've ever had".

Do we have to go back to the food subject AGAIN. I already failed that class. Anyway I don't think it is too much to ask for good manners. Do you think your second grade class could teach some of these debt collectors some manners. I think that is one big reason why they irritate me so much...I never liked bullies.
