Indiana Jones


Every once in awhile, educators find themselves in situations where there are simply... no words. But, there are movie lines. Although lost on many elementary-aged pupils, they are simply dynamite when used  appropriately. 

For example,

When leaving a room: "I'll be back"

When working on teamwork: "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of thew few or the one"

During gym class: "There's no crying in baseball"

When being challenged: "Go ahead, make my day"

When payment for a field trip arrives: "Show me the money"

..and my favorite line of late, from Indiana Jones & the Last Crusade..

When surprising a student who thinks they are getting away with murder: 

"I'm like a bad penny, I always turn up."
