I can threaten to take away their computer, but the downside to that is I don't get my writing work. And they don't much care if you take away the rest of their books and things.

I couldn't turn my students upside down if I tried. Have I mentioned that I teach Amazon girls? When another teacher wrote at the top of my board today I had to get one of my 11 year old girls (who happens to be getting close to about 5 and a half feet) to erase it for me. And her friends aren't much shorter.

My boys are closer to my height, but I'd still say 75% of them are at least three inches taller than me.
