And remember -- always greet your students and call them by name when they enter -- I believe this is important. I make eye contact with every student as they enter -- I like to stand at the door and do this.
This video is a humorous reminder. We don't need any mutant teachers out there.

Sorry for the blatant move away from education, but hey, the tension is killing me and we need a laugh sometimes.
I'll be heading up to Illinois this Wednesday -- hope to see some of you there.
Vicki you are truly a cool cat. I'm a parent who is very interested in the education system and in all methods used to spark the kids' interest in learning. I love your blog, it's now added to my favourites. Keep up the good work.
very funny
