I never say, Shut up, to my students. Never. Well, never until after I tell them I love them. When a student is being particularly goofy in class, when I've told him to refocus, be quiet, when I'm on my last nerve, I will lean down on his desk, look closely at him and say, I love you.Now please, shut up..I use the same tone of voice for both contradictory messages. Soon it becomes a class joke: Any time I tell a student, I love you, the class chimes in, Shut up.. Then, I only have to say, I love you, to control that occasional hyperactive, loud student. The behavior stops.No one misinterprets my message: I love my students!oon it becomes a class joke: Any time I tell a student, I love you, the class chimes in, Shut up..

There are a number of differences-the main ones are... They're from different countries-Garter Snakes are native to North America, Grass Snakes are a European species. They eat different foods-Garter Snakes eat mainly earthworms and fish, Grass Snakes eat frogs and small rodents.
And their appearance really does depend on the species â Beane pointed out that some garter snakes are âvirtually stripeless.â. Garter snakes are relatively small, usually between 23 and 30 inches (58 and 76 centimeters), though sometimes growing as long as 5 feet (1.5 meters). Beane described them as âslender to moderately stout-bodied ... [with scales that are] obviously keeled,â meaning they have a ridge down the center.
