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..
