I find it interesting that he is more focused on boundaries than relationships, but in doing so hes still building those relationships with students.

The last few chapters have spoken about consequences of actions and classroom rules.
I really love how this author continues to discuss problems in the classroom in such a logical way, not blaming the students or the teachers but instead discussing every single factor that could contribute to different behaviours. I also love the way he uses metaphors to explain his thinking.

Lavender and flirting from page 1?

Count me in!!

I just learned a lot about mass hysteria and the idea of people following a leader or waiting for others social cues.

I’m loving this book. The spice is already spicy 🌶️

Theres still 200 pages left???

Honestly, I’m enjoying it but it’s taking me foreverrrrrrr and I don’t understand why

It’s been nothing but chaos so far and I love it 🥰

Sharkie is too cute I love her. Also I love the house and how it does everything for them.

I don’t know about the MMC though. Hes got too many distinct features and hes kinda sounding ugly 😓

I’m so close to DNFing

I keep thinking of the afterlife in Beetlejuice when they mention all the different colours 😂

I really like the way he approaches the topic of behaviour. Like he says that some teachers think that it’s their teaching that provides them with a good classroom when really it’s just a lucky cohort of students.

I also like the way he keeps referring back to the fact that the culture at home will likely dictate how a child behaves. If the parents hate school the child will likely hate school too.

Sobbing over the cat because I had a cat named Max that was black and white too 😭😭😭
