Trouble With the Teachers

I'm about half way through "No Talking". The contest between the boys and girls is in full swing. I actually find it pretty impressive that this class of kids is working together in teams, and everybody is following the rules of the "game." I think that would take a lot of leadership to get everyone on the same page.
I was wondering how the teachers would react.  Now, I know.  Music class was pretty creative.  Andrew Clements seems to be using foreshadowing that the teachers also have conflicts between the men and women.  I'm interested to see if anything happens with that.
The teachers argue about what to do. Should they allow these "unshushables" to keep going or should they force them to talk again? What is your opinion?

  1. I feel in love with this book once I finished the first chapter. I'm a huge fan of Andrew Clements. He's so funny!!when I first picked out the book I have to admit I thought I wouldn't like it but its really good. I can bearly tear myself away from the book. what I love the most is when Allie Bedford whispered to Christina Farley and Rachel Morgan told Dave somehow and Christina stomped her feet and yelled 27 words and with the eight words that Allie whispered it was 35 points for the boys. Even though I'm a girl I do think girls are more noisy and talkative than boys'. But not better acting! Something funny is when I first looked at the book I thought the title was ANDREW CLEMENTS!!!Ha Ha Ha!!!! Anyways I really love the book
