Teacher Tips Sunbird has years of school and education experience with primary and high school students ... SUNBIRD EDUCATION CENTRE When asking a student to do something always finish your instruction with the word “thanks”. For example, “Get your maths pad out and rule   off under your last piece of work, thanks.” Or “Could you please pick up   that piece of rubbish and put it in the bin? Thanks.”  It implies that you have already thanked them for doing the task – so they comply. Guaranteed to work 9 out of 10 times. FURTHER YOUR CHILDS EDUCATION AT SUNBIRD >>>
