This chapter was all about students behaviors and how to interpret and deal with them. First of all a teacher needs to come to class prepared and engage the students right when they walk through the door so it leaves less room for the students to be off task. But when a student of students are being disruptive it is best not to yell at the in front of the whole class, it is better to speak to them individually of tap them on the shoulder if they are not paying attention. When dealing with a misbehavior it is important to get all sides of the story before any kind of punishment is determined. Students voices need to be heard in all situations. Teachers need to respect the students feelings and opinions in to to establish a good student teacher relationship.
The biggest topic in this chapter that I thought was so important as a teacher was the fact that teachers need to see all sides to a misbehavior before anyone is punished. I have gotten in trouble in high school before because someone slapped my books out of my hand and so I yelled at them, but I didn't swore. I was just mad. But the teacher punished us both for the confrontation and I think that it could have been worked out in a better way if the teacher would have talked it out with us. Also in middle school I was really shy. One time this boy and I weren't paying attention and so the teacher told us to stop flirting in front of the whole class and they all started laughing. I didn't even like boys at this point so I was extremely embarrassed and started crying. I know as a teacher I need to be very careful if I decide to crack jokes and I need to not make the kids misbehaving the center of attention.
