When Students don't respond like I hoped for, I

...get really pissed and start punching them in the face. Once they fall over I kick them while there down. Oh wait that must be what goes on in my head. Just kidding. Well it is difficult when students respond in ways other than I thought, or would like. However I have found that sometimes it can be a good thing and can bring about change, even in myself. So I guess I am more on the look for whether they are responding out of thoughtfulness or just off the cuff. If it is off the cuff I would ask them to think about it some more and get back to me. ~danny
