Really, I had to have that rule in my classroom. One of the students said he didn't know how to solve a simple math problem. I knew better so my response was "Rubbish, of course you do, answer the question". Those of you who are thinking I was being mean, relax. I knew he could do it, and sure enough, he did. However, the response caught on and the whole class was saying "Rubbish" every other word. Finally I had to make a rule: No one can say "rubbish" except me, it's my word and mine alone.
Teaching can be a blast, some days.

Okay, I can tell I'm going to have to start following your blog. This is just fun reading! You've already "lightened" my day and I've only read three of your posts. I'll be back after I go enjoy a presentation at the cemetery by the American Legion. (It is Memorial Day after all.) :)
