A section of chapter three that really jumped out at me was the part where students were discussing accidently falling asleep in class and putting their heads down. The chapter discusses how teachers should react to sleeping students and what is the most polite way to wake them up.
The sleeping section of chapter three jumped out at me because it reminded me of an incident I had in highschool. During my senior year I had a difficult time sleeping occasionally. After one rough night during a video in physics class I accidently fell asleep in class. My physics teacher saw this and reacted very poorly and unlike what the chapter suggests should be done. She jabbed my shoulder with a ruler until I woke up and then lectured me about how disrespectful it is to sleep in classes. This was embarrassing for me because of how she had chosen to deal with that problem. A more appropriate way to wake a sleeping student is lightly tapping them on the shoulder and asking if they want to go wash off their face or something. After that incident I lost respect for that teacher because she had punished me for something I could not really control.
