do you agree or disagree with the saying "Don’t smile until Christmas?"
i am not sure what it means
The statement means that a teacher should always be strict and businesslike for the first few months of school.
I knew a teacher who tried to practice that -- but I disagree. I think teachers can maintain order and be respected even when they show their human side.
thank you ms sue
You're welcome, Scooby.
I agree with Ms. Sue. As long as a friendly teacher can be strict when appropriate, she would still be respected.

This saying is often used to encourage patience and resilience. It suggests that one should not celebrate or display happiness prematurely, in order to avoid disappointment if things don't turn out as expected. The implication is that one should withhold joy or excitement until a certain anticipated event or goal is achieved.
The saying is typically used in situations where it is believed that premature happiness or celebration may jinx or jeopardize the desired outcome. It's a way to remind oneself or others to remain focused and committed until the desired result is achieved.
It's important to note that this saying is often used in a lighthearted or joking manner, and not to be taken literally. Ultimately, whether to follow this saying or not is a personal choice, and it may vary from person to person based on their beliefs and experiences.
