“Sir, can I have more groaning, please?”

Why give students less to complain about when we can just stop the complaining overall?

There will always be something to complain about. There are 28+ kids in 1 classroom. Each child has 3+ preferences or requirements to feel comfortable. Each child has 2+ ridiculous request that contradicts the point of learning such as: no homework, no projects, no testing, no studying, not moving, not participating, not paying attention, etc…

Again, only 1 classroom, 4 walls, and no genie. 

It’s like my philosophy on child-rearing. Don’t distract your child from crying or whining. You are merely enforcing that they can whine and you will give them some kind of reward. You are the adult. Tell them to not whine!
