"My teacher would touch me on the shoulder and ask, 'Are you okay?' If I am, she would say, 'I can;t have you sleep in my class, so please step outside, rinse your face with cold water, the come back when you're okay.' -Lauraliz
Usually the sleepiness goes around in the morning classes, when the heater's on, or when the lights are off. My teacher always taps us on the shoulder when we fall asleep. - Andres"
This part of the chapter stood out to me personally because I tend to fall asleep in class very often, even when I am trying very hard not to. My doctors think I may have some kind of sleep disorder or sleep apnea or some other condition. I have gotten in trouble before with teachers because they think I'm sleeping or purpose because it's boring or because I'm lazy, but I'm not. I really appreciate what the teacher did in the first quote because she did not get angry at the student she just told the student to leave the room for a few minutes until they are more awake and doing better. I believe this is a very respectful way to handle the situation.
