Hey, Note Passers! I Publish Embarrassing Correspondence Here! When I was my students' age, I was the self-proclaimed queen of the note-passers! Sometimes I got caught, but mostly I got away with it. One of my teachers used to read all intercepted notes aloud to the class. The few times I had my notes read aloud are still some of the more embarrassing moments I remember from my school days. When I catch you passing notes, I promise I won't read them aloud, but if your correspondence strikes me as particularly humorous, your note could very easily end up scanned and on this webpage. This is where I post notes that shouldn't have been passed in my class! What strikes me as a note that's funny enough to post here? Two criteria: 1) when my students write notes to each other that contain errors they knew how to fix because I taught them those rules, and 2) when the notes' content is so ridiculous that I can't believe my students have stopped listening to me and taken classtime to write them. Am I cruel to do this? I don't think so. I'm hoping you'll choose to be more careful when you write compose your notes--with punctuation or with content? Before saying "Pssst" to your friend and pass, ask yourself, "Do I want her to post what I've written online if she sees me do this?" I missed out on a lot of good learning in school by writing so many pointless notes. I want students to pay attention when they're supposed to, and I want them to write notes on their own time. Below are two of my more pointless "note exchanges" from my school days; my mother saved these for me.
