Re: Disrespectful Students
Posted by Martina on 4/23/08


    Ok, so I've tried a bunch of your ideas and some of them
    worked, some didnt. I think that my students are used to what
    I've been doing, and since I am a first year teacher it is
    going to be difficult for them to change so late in the year.
    I took a quick peek at the CHAMP site and it really is great.
    I'm hoping to spend a lot of time on that site this summer to
    adjust for next year.

    Is there anything else I should be doing this summer to
    prepare for my second year?
