And although to some people It might scare some teachers when students ask teachers to stop talking for the end of class. I think it's a nice way to end class because sometimes ending a class can be... awqwerd or feel like your neverouse because it's not what you that speaking, it's the student that does it for you. And as an added bonus You know that that student that asked you to be quiet so he can work will actually work but also that you know that other people will work as well. Some teachers might say "well you know that there will be students that will be off task and will be palyign games and on sites that don't include the current topic that at hand?" and my answer to that is that belive it or not that students are or were working and being extremely hard on thta tpoic evem though it may not seem like it. Stuedents can only stay on topic for so long that after a while you will find more students getting off task because they don't want to be on that specific topic anymore. So besides that, this is the best way to end school!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2707703066300530859.post-72269681651904243812010-05-12T08:51:12.345-06:002010-05-12T08:51:12.345-06:00Im a stduent in Mr.Bowers class. i thought it was ...Im a stduent in Mr.Bowers class. i thought it was pretty interesting how the one student told mr.bower to stop talking. i kinda stop and frooze up cuz i have never heard a student tell the teacher to stop talking.

It was about this guy that wanted to be more then he could like example: he wanted to be the sun then he wanted to be clouds and then he wanted to be wind, but then he kept wanting to be things then he ended up being the person he is ... a stone cutter. So basically it's saying to be yourself, and i was into my paragraph when Mr.Bower was talking also but i could still type and listen to him at the same time. Then when one of our students in our class said "Could you stop talking? You are making me lose my focus." I kind of laughed too haha, so yeah ..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2707703066300530859.post-68864773312006176872010-05-12T08:50:52.636-06:002010-05-12T08:50:52.636-06:00i dont think he was being rude but it is kinda dis...i dont think he was being rude but it is kinda distrucking when a person is behind you a you feel them breathing down on you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2707703066300530859.post-21256710163554940572010-05-12T08:49:01.029-06:002010-05-12T08:49:01.029-06:00If someone is look over my shoulder, I get kinda n...If someone is look over my shoulder, I get kinda neverous and pretend Im doing something but really I'm thinking to myself, is this good enough or what the person is thinking.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
