A Terrific Class

 

 

The first day of school began on a bright note for a teacher who was glancing over the class roll．After each student‘s name was a number，such as 138，140，154 and so on．“Look at these IQs ，”she thought to herself．“They’ve given me a terrific class．”

 

As a result，the elated teacher worked harder with this class than with her others．She tried new innovations that she thought would challenge them and hold their interest．And it worked．The class did much better than any of her other classes，which s he had taught in the usual way．Only later did she find out that the figures after each pupil’s name stood for their locker numbers．
