This past month, it went off during my AP Chem class. Ordinarily, this would have delighted them. This time, however, it was during a quiz. A couple of them mentioned they were worried they wouldn't finish. Jokingly, I said that if they were that concerned, they were most welcome to take their quiz & something to write on out to the football field.
The next thing I knew, ALL of them simultaneously grabbed their books & pens & took them out to the field.
Yes, they kept working. No, they didn't cheat. And yes, I really do take my camera everywhere.

Now that IS dedication. I'm seriously impressed. Are you secretly feeding them something to turn them into the ultimate stepford student or something? Surely that's not normal student behaviour?? ;)

I've done that with my students, too... love it!
Wow! That's a good group of scholars you have there!!
:) :)
Marie - I wish all of my classes were that way!! Definitely not standard behavior. We were already on a shortened schedule because of an assembly, so it was a valid concern (in their minds) that they might not finish. I let them do it because I knew they wouldn't cheat either.
