As if to test my theory, the boys were particularly talkative today. In response, I decided to teach from the back of the room. It was a review day and there is a board in the back of the room as well. Suddenly, the boys groups were eager to participate in answering and asking questions. On the other hand, the girls in the front of the room commenced talking and chatting off topic within their groups. I am reminded that teaching is an ACTIVE profession and that we have to keep moving in order to keep up with our students.
