Caught napping One of my favorite teachers, Mrs. Jones, was a wonderful, patient teacher with a bit of a mischievous streak. One of the boys in class, who evidently wasn’t overly enthused by the course, would regularly fall asleep in class and just as regularly be awakened. Since this didn’t seem to bother him enough to end the habit, Mrs. Jones decided one day to try a new tactic. While he was peacefully dozing with his head on his book she quietly snuck the entire class out into the hall. When he finally woke up to an empty classroom (not knowing we were all standing in the hallway, quietly listening) he was totally panicked—probably thinking that he had missed the final bell and his bus home. When he came flying out of the classroom we were all waiting in the hallway laughing. I don’t believe he ever fell asleep in class again. Marcie Roper, High Point, EnergyUnited |
