I've killed 3 birds with one stone. The 3 problems were sometimes being bored at work, not drawing enough, and not creating enough personal relations with the students.

so, when my students got 10/10 on the daily test, I drew a picture on their test. the first time i did this it was ok, but i ran out of ideas for what to draw. so next class i asked my students for suggestions. they said zombies and flowers, and teddy bears and stuff. i drew some of those, but i still didn't know specifically what to give each student. so this last time i said, write on your test what you want me to draw. and when i got the tests it felt like reading a christmas wish list. it was great. some things i drew were: detention, starcraft battlecruiser, an ugly picture of the girl sitting beside them, and here are 3 examples of other things...

a phantom and a zombie duking it out.
a teddy bear and a cat...at lunch time.
a motorcycle...


i think next time i will warn my students that they might not get exactly what they expect.

How about a punky looking hedgehog on the bottom of an emo girl's shoes, while she is walking down the street listening to her discman oblivious to his plight. His face frantic/half that cartoon look of horror. She is wearing sunglasses perhaps? Winner gets $50 dollars and a credit if we use it for the band t-shirt

i'll contemplate it. i need to draw more, but i don't need a reward.
