Don't be a pushover by Shateria Robinson

Are you a new teacher at Cedar Shoals? I believe that all new teachers have some what of a hard time on controlling there kids because they really don’t know what to expect from them. Sometimes I think that new teachers have a hard time controlling their student because they are kind of nervous at first and act like a cat got their tongues. I believe that if you are a new teacher entering Cedar Shoals you just have to let them know the first day that you’re not a pushover. Because if you come off like a push over the first day they will run over you for the rest of the school year, that’s just how students take advantage of there teachers. I’m not saying that you have to come off mean about the situation but just let them know that you’re not going to let them talk to you any kind of way and you’re not going to let them run all over you. Nor am I saying that Cedar Shoals is such a bad school that the students just don’t know how to act. I’m just saying that no matter what school you go to if you let a student do you any kind of way then they are going to do it, its just life. Mainly students are always trying to get out in the hallway (like me) and if your one of those teachers that let your students do what they want to do then of course they are going to do it because they know that they aren’t going to be any consequences behind the situation. Especially if you just let them just walk out of class they will be sure to tell the principle or any administrator if they get caught that you didn’t say anything about it, then you will be in trouble. Do you really want to lose your job because your students don’t know how to be have, or because you act like you don’t know how to control your students. No! Then there are some teachers that are just to damn strict, I understand that they are rules that you have to follow but you don’t have to be so strict about them. Most strict teachers be the teachers that get cussed put the most. But like any other teacher I believe every new teacher will get use to the environment and be a great teacher!
