Res Ipsa Loquitur: Mass Model

No, not a mass model...
 

...a Mass model.

About 8 minutes of class time. Yes it's bedlam, but you can hear the kids thinking and learning. Multiply this 8 minutes by 7, and you get a sense of how much content is covered in 55 minutes of teaching, and at what depth.

Thanks for posting the audio. I often wonder whether the level of rowdiness of my class of 10 kids is normal or over the top. I think you and I do roughly the same amount of shushing!

So perhaps my class is just normal. But I do get very stressed out trying to keep the kids under control and getting them to listen. If left unchecked, my kids would be running around and wresting each other.

This was 16 kids between 11 and 13 or so. They are the loudest bunch I've ever had, but there's no physical mischief.

You should have another adult in your class just to ride herd.
