Number 3; keep 'em comin!
This just shows you what they can't prepare you for in college:
I had taught for a few years but this is about the first time I taught elementary school. I was considered a specialist so I went in to the third grade classrooms as opposed to having my own room.
There was one student in the class named Maeve who never spoke. He was so shy I almost didn't know what his voice sounded like. One day in December (our year starts in September) I was splitting up the class to do boys vs. girls. I put Maeve in his group and I heard another student say, Why are you putting Maeve with us? My impression was that these boys had something against Maeve. But I brushed it aside and said something like, Hey we all work together no matter what.
Later I told the classroom teacher and she got red in the face. "Maeve is a girl."
