A teacher comes into the classroom looking for a particular substitute teacher. She thought she was in room 114, but she was in room 14. She introduces herself to me, and embarrasses me by saying that I was very nervous and had a large lump in my throat as I walked down the hall this morning. I figured that she was just joking with me since I was a student observer. Students continue to work and are not really paying attention to the teacher who walked in.
Teacher shows respect to students and students in return show respect to the teacher.
Discipline does not seem to be a problem in this class. Atmosphere is more relaxed and open. Students seem comfortable and are involved in their assignments. Teacher is being humorous with students. Teacher returns to his office to see how his level three debate student is doing on his assignment.
