Please concentrate......

Here's my favourite lines to use when the children are newly enrolled at the centre:

"Children, before you start your work, prepare yourself not to be distracted with other things. If you need to go to the restroom, do it before you start your work. If you want to talk to your brother or mom, do it before you start your work. In the classroom, once you write your time....focus on your work. Don't talk to your friends. Don't look around. DON'T EVEN LOOK AT ME....COS I'M NOT VERY PRETTY ANYWAY....!!!!" They'll always laugh at the last line and start to work without looking around. ;)
