I will develop a good BS detector

This has always been one of my favorite Calvin and Hobbes strips.



I've been thinking a lot about how to approach students who will try their damnedest to get away with stuff in the classroom. One reason I decided to go into teaching is because, as my brother once said, I have a good BS detector. Kids can be so incredibly manipulative and as you get older, it becomes harder and harder to see through the charade. One of my objectives is to be that teacher that calls her students on their con attempts, that refuses to let them off the hook, and that has high expectations for everyone. I don't think I'll be falling for the plastic binder trick!

Here's another classic for good measure!
