Eastside Pride (Not Really)

Every day as soon as my students enter the classroom, they get started on a "Do Now" assignment. It is usually a question that they must answer in at least 4 to 5 complete sentences.

One of my best students who I usually expect more work from was not on task & it was taking him forever to get started on his assignment.

I sternly reminded the students that they MUST write in complete sentences & gave them a couple of examples on how to begin their statements.

FN: Are we on the eastside?
Me: What? (because I thought I heard him wrong)
FN: Are we on the eastside?
Me: Yes.
FN: Then we don't have to write it proper.
Me: (GASP!)

He laughed because he thought he was being cute. He's not THAT cute where he can get away with making those comments.
