But then, we had some growing up to do." »Jack Handey Deep Thoughts

"Instead of raising your hand to ask a question in class, how about individual push buttons on each desk That way, when you want to ask a question, you just push the button and it lights up a corresponding number on a tote board at the front of the class.
