I have always hated when teachers talk down to me. I am a very competent individual, and when you talk down to them they start to contribute less than if they would have been talked up to. I hope to treat every student fairly. My grading standards and expectations from students will be clear, but not harsh. When teaching I hope to be a successful teacher.
Children learn a lot about life from what they learn in school.
If they are taught to be respectful and caring of others, they will in most cases be that. I want to have a classroom that is fun, but at the same time productive.
