snooze.

Psychology Degree Programs


Today during 5th period one of my students fell asleep. I was not up in front of the class teaching today, so it wasn't like it was any reflection on my teaching abilities. Just wanted to clear that up. Anyway... my students are watching a movie on the novel we are reading, and one of them fell asleep during the film. When the bell rang to dismiss class, she didn't stir, and I decided this would be a good lesson for her to learn. As my next class filed in I told them not to touch her. They were just as loud as they normally are before class starts and yet my 5th hour student, lets call her Sue for kicks, snored on.

The bell rang for class to start, and I instructed my students that they would be taking the state writing test today and that we would be going to the computer lab to do so. Sue was still snoring. Literally. My students asked me if I was going to wake her and I said nope. If you fall asleep in my class it must be because you simply want to stay here longer, in which case you are going to forfeit your other classes. All my students filed out of the room and made their way to the computer lab. I was visualizing her waking up to an empty classroom with the lights turned off and having a full fledged freak out thinking school was over. Don't worry. I woke her up a little while later. I started to worry that she might be dead once she had stopped snoring.
