One thing you should avoid is having your class develop a drop in center attitude.This happens when you get a lot of latecomers. In the past I used to have this. Its impossible to do a good job when everyone is arriving at different times. Sometimes your students will come up to you with all kinds of excuses why they can't come. Don't be fooled by their laid back attitude. Some of them are very two faced. They'll come up to you and cry that they can't attend your class and then talk behind your back to the administration. Be tough and don't take any****. If you lay down the law they will respect you. |
