I frequently read or hear advice “to be consistent” but also to ” pick your battles” I know that I need to strengthen my boundaries but my own models were pretty bad. I need to develop wisdom to understand how to make better decisions.

In reply to Howard willis. Do you have and enforce consequences?

I actually have been having a problem with dismissal and talking. I define my rules beforehand, post my expectations on the board, use a group point system for lining up, and I still have several problems with behavior, constant chatter, and disrespect, especially before dismissal. How do you enforce your expectations and be strict on students who are constantly challenging those boundaries?

In the public school system, it is not a good idea to tell your students you have been acting inappropriately….

Hi Linda,
Thank God for you. I am a second year teacher and I just started teaching 9th grade. I find that because they are older I’m a little more familiar with them. They take advantage of this and it’s hard to get them to do anything they don’t WANT to do. I ant effectively teach them anything this way. Al they want to do is have fun.

In reply to B. Cortes. Yes you should definitely be real & engaging. Sounds like you've found the balance that works for you!

Hmmm I’m familiar with my students but I’m very strict. This combo has worked for me. I work with 5th graders in a tough area and the fact that I’m real but strict has worked like a charm! Set routines, boundaries and expectations…that’s how to run a classroom!

In reply to Missy. Teachers need to be balanced and fair. Firm at the times when children are misbehaving and acting up. Teachers still need to be fair,kind, and respect ful to themselves and and others around then. If I were teacher I choose the fair and balanced approach because it's the best personality.
