Fires in the Bathroom chapter 9

When things seem to be going wrong for students the best thing to do with them is to communicate with them. The sooner you communicate with a student who is going through problems then the sooner you can find help for them. Things also can go wrong for teachers as well. This chapter talks about finding the right balance of maintaining classroom management and at the same time letting the student know that I am there for them. There are ways to keep your students involved and connected to the class. When a teacher comes prepared to class and confident then it will rub off on the students. When you know the material and care about the students will care as well. An important thing to understand is that you cannot judge how well you are doing teaching by how much the students like you. You are there to teach the students, not to become most popular.
