Re: Disrespectful Students
Posted by Martina on 4/23/08
One more thing.....My mentor told me that when a student is
disrespecting me I should just let it go because if I argue
back, then I have 30 other kids on his side and it will just
come back to bite me. It is very hard for me not to trust someone because I don't ever
think that anyone lies to me. But I know that my students are
always watching their own backs and will not go against each
other. Does anyone else feel this way? Being a first year teacher I
find it difficult to be stern with the students. I'm getting
confused because my mentor tells me not to argue, but then I
feel like if I don't justify myself, my students just think that
I'm always wrong. On 4/23/08, Martina wrote:
