Yeah…we’re in the same boat, looks like. Hang in there, it gets better.

PS–Jones’ book has really helped me. I disagree with the man’s behaviorism, but he’s a genius when it comes to getting kids to behave.

I will have taught for one year in May and like you, I too had an illusion of grandeur when I stepped into my very first class. I thought that I was going to be the greatest and coolest teacher ever. And then of course the proverbial ton of bricks fell on me and now I agree with your statement about how teaching will take the little girl/boy outta ya. It’s taxing sometimes having to deal with smart-alecs who have no desire to be in class or to learn and their sole purpose is to be as disruptive as possible.

Yep, I have some discipline problems in my classrooms that I can’t seem to curb no matter what I do. I’m at a loss. I’m glad to have read this list. I hope to be able to put some things in practise and hopefully I’ll be able to get some order restored in class. My sanity depends on that. Hahaha…

However, I also think that this can be helpful to you:
The book and Training Video: PREVENTING Classroom Discipline Problems

If you can get this book and video: [they are in many libraries, so you don't have to buy them] email me and I can refer you to the sections of the book and video [that demonstrates the effective vs. the ineffective teacher] that can help you.

If your library does not have them, you can get them at:

http://www.panix.com/~pro-ed/

that are also used at this online course:
http://www.ClassroomManagementOnline.com

See: Reviews at: http://classroommanagementonline.com/comteach.html

If you cannot get the book or video, email me anyway, and I will try to help.

Best regards,

Howard
