What can I do to wake up my students?

Teacher, Phone Home

Are your students slacking off? Having a hard time curbing some poor behavior? Start a phone call campaign - students usually jump right back into the fray when Mom or Dad gets on their case. You needn`t try to call everyone at once. Pick the five students in each of your classes that are most in need of help. Take those phone numbers home with you (and your grade book) and start calling at a decent hour on Saturday morning.
