I have perfected the death stare! What is the death stare? Every teacher develops an evil eye that strikes fear into the hearts of their students to get them to behave. One of my classes is really freaking enormous, so I had to throw my evil eye out the window. My general approach to teaching is to be friendly but stern when needed. My afternoon grade two class is so out of hand, that wasn't working, THEY'RE SO EFFING LOUD! I decided to try a different approach. Yesterday, I got myself ready to be as surly and as mean as I could be. That got their attention. They were still loud though...
Then I turned on my evil eye but made it much more intense. I didn't move any part of my face, it turned into a cold penetrating stare that made them behave. At first they didn't take it seriously but I persisted, if a student was talking I would stare right at them without blinking and they would sit down and be quiet. It got to the point where if anyone stood up, I didn't have to say anything, I would just engage the death stare.
BWAHAHAHAHA! The Death Stare! Misbehaving students tremble before it's might! Except for the fact that it gives me a headache...
