Iam just starting my second year of teaching. A couple of years ago I saw your videos and thought you were too strict, too cold, your expectations were too high for middle schoolers. Now I'm teaching in a challenging school and my classroom management is awful, my kids don't respect me, and behaviour problems in my classes are draining me. You were right all along - by letting my kids get away with so much, I'm telling them that I don't expect much of them. Semester 2 starts next week and I'm ready to start fresh with high expectations, clear and consistent consequences, and a belief that I can get more or of my students than they could ever imagine. Thank you for these videos!
