Downtime in a Tewksbury class? I wonder what that would look like?

Now in my class I allow the students to take a break as they change the thread in their needles.
I also allow them to curl up under their desks for an entire 30 min each day.

But in a Tewksbury class there is that dread ruler that is poised to come down on knuckles the moment they stop moving.

I've seen Harlan in tears from fatigue, I've seen Okiwan camouflage himself with Tartan and low crawl just to go to the little boys room.

She is always there, always watching, always, always.
