Fun isn't everything by Javante Risper

Dear Future Teachers,
I would like to say welcome to Cedar Shoals. Some of the students here are as bad as you heard, but not all of them. My advice to you is to be hard on your students at all times. I know some of them will think that you’re being a butthole but I and you both know that you’re not trying to be that.
It’s cool to do something’s that’s fun but not all of the time. You would be doing your job but you wouldn’t be giving your students the kind of knowledge that they need. If a student act up please do feel free to write that student up. If you don’t then that student will try to run over you in each and every way that he/she can. When you have a date to meet on your assignment or project make sure you keep that date and if they miss that date then take points off or count it as a zero.
Help your students the best way you can because students do lie on their teachers about certain stuff and say things like you didn’t tell them how to do the work, you didn’t tell them that they had a assignment, you didn’t give them the assignment, they asked you for help but you didn’t give it to them because you want them to fail, and more stuff like that. Don’t be afraid to talk to your students about things that are going on. If you feel like something’s going on with that person and its affecting them try to talk to them about it and if they let you know what’s going on then keep it between you and that person. The whole world doesn’t have to know about what’s going on in that person personal life. Let that person know that you’re not trying to be nosey and you were just concerned about them because you want them to better themselves. Try to gain a connection with them. You have some students that will talk to their teachers and let their teacher in on some stuff that their friends don’t even know about them. Blogs are a good way for you to try and connect with your students. I got the idea from my teacher because she did one with my class and I found out that it was very interesting so I’m giving this to you. I also found out that more people open up with things like that because that’s the only way that they can express themselves without being judge. Don’t talk to your students about drugs that you do if you do drugs. Hopefully you don’t do drugs so, I was saying just in case you do. Make your students work because whether they go to the next grade or graduate lies in your hands. If a student wants to be stubborn then let them be that. They will sooner or later straighten up because they don’t want to see their friends doing well and they aren’t. Don’t be nice to the students who misbehave because if you do then they would be getting more privileges then the other students who do their work. I’m glad that you took the time out to read this and take my advice because I really couldn’t find any advice for a teacher because I have never been in a teacher position, so I’m just speaking on what I have seen.
