Without fail the class would end a few minutes early. As soon as I started making the sounds it was like dominoes. Ten minutes left in the lecture but everyone has all their stuff put away and are putting their coats on. I think of this often. May this knowledge set you free a few minutes early.
In the UK we had to be told explicitly not to move before or after the bell rang, until the teacher said we were allowed to (which usually wasn’t long after to be fair). Wed all been conditioned by American movies were they just get up immediately to leave, lol
Real American classrooms are not like the movies lol. Hollywood is all a lie
But, but… I saw it on TV. It has to be true.
