Today I confiscated the first note I've seen passed in class. She was bored because I make them read whenever they have downtime. I didn't notice until now that she ripped the page out of her composition book, which I've repeatedly told them not to rip things out of. I'm pretty sure she was asking her friend at my station if the grammar station tasks were difficult. And, no, I didn't read the note in front of the class. I was told not to single students out like that and I didn't want to announce that my class was boring to some when most people were on task.
