I think you and Louis should team teach a class (good cop, bad cop). We
could start pools on which students and teachers survive.

Subject: Applied Survivor Activity
I am toying with the idea of incorporating the Survivor paradigm in class.
Just as in the TV series,someone gets kicked off the island;in my Classroom
version I
would ask students
to secretly vote who they feel should be kicked out of the class.The
criteria to be used
to express
their desire to kick a student out of the class would be:
-stupidity of student
- unrelenting tardiness
- lack of communication
- poor critical thinking skills
- dozing off
-anyone with Tourettes'
The students who are voted to be kicked out would then be escorted out of
the class and
permitted
to re-enter after they have apologized to the class.
It is hoped that this activity would lead to a high self-monitoring of
behavior and hence
improve classroom
morale.
