I was working as a substitute teacher when some boys became unruly. I usually handle discipline problems myself, but this time,
even after several warnings,
I had to stop teaching my class and send the boys to the principal's office.
As the classroom door shut, I leaned on the lectern and told my attentive students,
"This is the first time I have ever sent anybody to the principal's office."
The boy sitting in the front row looked up, and said, "Well, Mrs. Smith, you did it very well."
