At times I felt as though I were about to either throw up or go home crying simply because of how much of a push-over I thought I was. I was firm (at least I thought I was) and witty. But how do I know if the students respect me and are willing to listen to what I have to say? I don't quite know if I have a good classroom dynamic, not to mention a lot of the individuals providing me with "issues" are the ones who are acting in a stereotypical manner. Do you have any advice for this frazzled and confused first year teacher? I find it extremely ironic to read this blog as today was the first day of my teaching experience.
