I arrived at this school only to see “No Homework Week” posted on the board in this 6th grade class. This was obviously going to be a problem for my classroom discipline technique. I couldn’t very well threaten them with extra homework in a “no homework” week, now could I?
So I reverted to the guess the sub’s previous job title exercise.
We had a few new innovative guesses like: Ice Cream Dude and Mr. Clean guy (This only makes sense if you know I’m bald)
Once again, the technique worked like a charm. They were great kids and the only real noisy outburst was at the end of class when I revealed the “final answer”.
The teacher next door came in a few minutes after class wanting to know what happened in our class at the end of the day.
I just told her that they were happy that school was out.

I sub at a school where kids don't do homework...even if it is assigned, the kids don't care, and just throw it on the floor.
