Irrespective of the fact that this week has not been so good for me, things are picking up. I know I have already tackled the topic of shyness in the classroom. Still and all, it would be a good idea to bring it up again considering that I am going to be taking up a new job as an English teacher. Things do not seem to be so auspicious regarding me getting along with the students. Albeit, I know that with a bit of practice am I going to be able to handle teenagers as well as adults.

 

It goes without saying that children make me blow a gasket each time they misbehave. Be that as it may, I more or less have learned to deal with them by now. Seeing as how am I going to be teaching teens this time around though, I am bound to over-prepare. Teaching either children or teens is a big challenge. Hence, the more material you bring to the table, the more prepared you are so as to deal with them.

 

Albeit, not only am I going to have to consider materials for my classes. I am also going to have to gear up to deal with misbehaving teens on a daily basis. Developing a thick skin will help. Teaching is a war. Gathering up the courage to addressing boisterous teenagers is not that hard sometimes. What is hard is learning how to coexist with them. Besides, being a teacher does not mean behaving in a supercilious way either. Every person has their place.

 

To wind things up, I would say that it is also crucial not to mince words when it comes to students. Being able to be as forthright as possible is essential. Thus, the need to wipe off those insecurities about teaching problematic teens. The key to success in the classroom is growing horns like the devil and imposing your will from day one.
