when #1 son was in 4th grade, and was asking too many questions while teacher was trying to explain something, said teacher told him she didnt want to hear another word out of him. Two days later I got called to school to see if I could make him talk, or at least find out what was going on. when I askd him why he wouldnt talk, he told me what she had said . We both laughed about that one after he returned to his classs, she hadn"t told him it was okay to talk again!!
