Respect
Demand respect in your classes. Do not let the kids call each other names. It's
possible you will have some students that you may not like or may just get on
your nerves. Regardless of your feelings for them it's important to treat them with
respect. They will be more inclined to do as you say as long as you treat them
with respect.

the policy. I just lay down the law that no one will call anyone names, and I
just push respect, respect, respect. I believe that if I respect my kids, they will
respect me and I have never found that to be any different. I am not saying I
get the best kids, but by the time they leave my classroom everybody wants
to have my kids because they have learned respect and manners."-Celia
