*I just l-o-o-o-ve teaching middle school! This was an emailed anecdotal at work:

Nyree talked throughout advisory today. She literally interrupted others talking when it was their turn, interrupting me when I was reading, and having her own conversations or argument whenever she felt. Numerous times during advisory she yelled at Quinton, kicked Quinton, yelled out asking to go to the bathroom, and snapped at other student. She did not correct her behavior even with endless reminders. In addition, her body language showed that she was not engaged. She kept slouching, pouting, sucking her teeth, rolling her eyes, and staring into space.

*Doesn't that last sentence conjure up an image of a seething chimpanzee?
