Helpful: Hey Teacher!

Tricks of the Trade: Substitute teacher: "If you walk into your classroom and instinctively know that a certain kid is going to be The Student From Hell, try this. Walk up to him first thing in the morning and casually say, 'Hey, aren't you Jerome Jones?' When he reponds 'yes,' say, 'Tell you mom that I said hi.' That should keep him guessing enough to behave, at least for a day."
