Why Effective Teachers Have a Minimum
of Problems
The
effective teacher has a minimum of student misbehavior problems to handle
The
ineffective teacher is constantly fighting student misbehavior problems.
Yet the
situation is easy to remedy
Ineffective
teachers have classroom that are not ready. Confusion leads to problems; problems lead to misbehavior; and misbehavior
leads to constant tangling between the teacher and students. The ineffective
teachers, each day, become more and more stressful, burned out, negative,
cynical, and angry. They quickly learn to blame everyone and everything else
for their problems.

problems will occur from time to time. There is an area, or strategic location
set for the offender.

promptly and competently. This conveys the message that you are in control and
ready.
