Thug Life: It's Hard Out Here For A Teacher

I noticed a thought in my mind that went like this:

Some moments of a teacher's life are like trying to force-feed a room full of people so they take what you know they'd suffer without.

"Claps or pounds on two - 1, 2..."
We have a rhythmic little system for checking answers in class. The teens have learned to clap twice or pound on
the desk twice on my command to indicate whether they agree or disagree with the answer just given
by a classmate. Lets me know instantly whether a question needs to be discussed further.
