Pet Peeves
When a student refuses to try when things become difficult. I wouldn't ask you to try if I thought it was an impossible task.
Respect is my #1 rule - so I get annoyed when people treat each other disrespectfully.
Most Used Sayings
My students would say it's, 'Treat each other with respect.'
