546. You are firm and not their buddy


One day teacher of English A said to teacher of English B, “We need authority and capacity of management of the class. We need to have seriousness and gravity. They are essential to create an atmosphere of serene and effcient work. We can say a rule to be followed, in a clear and firm way. A rule to facilitate their learning and their personal growth. If a student doesn’t fulfill the given rule, maybe we could stop the class to make him or her realize the trespassing of the rule, which also does some harm to their classmates, usually a minor one. If we have to repeat the same rule some more times, something is working bad, and the student must notice this. Something educative is to make him and the whole class consider the what and why of the rule: it’s for their happiness, coming to the head. Pass the ball to that student: it’s his business to conduct well. Oh, just something else, apply this stuff in a kind and serious way, maybe smiling (or not), but without naivety.” / Photo from: students_classroom_1358062c telegraph co uk
