She's 100% correct. Stay calm in the classroom.

Just had my first day teaching at a historic and underfunded school in my city. Needed this so bad. Felt like I failed today - I didn't - everything is just so new. Thank you for your tips!!

Kindly make your num. 3 rules clearer to read. Thanks

I'm going thru it too😢

Aspiring High School teacher here! Thank you so much for your valuable insight! I struggle a lot with confrontation and conflict in general, but your advice gives me confidence

Very helpful video for college instructors who teach dual credit. College professors were not trained to teach in the secondary environment, but the increase in dual credit puts us in the junior and senior level high school classes. Then there is the issue with managing the classroom. By the time students get to the college classroom, it is not as labor-intensive to manage the classroom. I think this video is important. Thank you.

Ma'am! You are awesome. I so appreciate your message here. Many thanks to you. This is my core philosophy, but it's so easy to lose that in the heat of the moment. I may have a challenging year ahead of me (from what I hear), and I needed to hear you say this to me.

You’re going to do great- even on the tough days. Find your own teacher style, and don’t let anyone’s negativity change you. Truly, thanks for being here.

Great job explaining! Clear & consistent procedures!

We don’t have issues with phones at my school because the families are low income. They can’t afford to buy them for their kids. We have issues with trauma and lack of engagement. I have some really kind students, but some are hard to deal with. They’re just angry and negative. I don’t want to feed into it but they can wear you down sometimes.

[@harrisonclark4382]

I taught in the inner city for 20 years and rarely had phone issues. I did not collect their phones, but I insisted in no uncertain terms that they were not to take their phones out. It’s all about how you communicate this to them.

This is one of the most useful videos I have watched about this. Thank you for this. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@MissFit2Teach]

Yeeeeees, Julia! I'm breathing a little sigh of relief that this was useful to you in even the smallest way. Cheers to another school year finished, and Happy Summer!

[@sophiaentzminger5011]

Great video, you seem like an awesome educator! Do you ask for the phones on day one, or do you tell them the policy and start on day 2. I feel like on day 1 say all the expectations, and explain them, then the next class we start. ??

[@sophiaentzminger5011]

Also hi, I'm in Richmond Virginia 🙂

[@misterbo16]

Great video!

[@MarcoAntonioBaltierraRoc-rg5vp]

Yes I study PGMS in jeneral

[@Judyssma]

Because it's a whole another game. Not for the faint of heart

[@jimmcguy5511]

Don't take kids phones. Never. That needs to be a district wide policy. Above teachers pay grade.

[@harrisonclark4382]

Before I knew better, I actually dropped a student phone while trying to take it from her and it broke. I ended up having to pay for it.

[@davdooo-k9w]

I agree on that

[@samanthacampbell1840]

What is the name of the documentary?

[@MissFit2Teach]

Hey, Samantha- it's Girls Incarcerated, and it's a pretty gripping docuseries. I don't have a lot of time to ever sit and watch much TV, but I enjoyed every episode of this one and it has a lot of parallels to the school system, in my opinion.

[@acedia4453]

I got sick of the padded numbers in inner city school systems. I dont blame the students, or administration. Not everyone should be teaching.

[@reginaturner2284]

Phones should be confiscated at office. Never to the class.

[@hopefulforhumanity5625]

Inner city? Are there problems?

[@dr.threadgill6045]

Why would make mention to the inner city? What are you implying?

[@NoahBodze]

I’m not going to pay to fund your quixotic failure. Millions of Americans are like me.

[@gingerespinoza5015]

GET RID OF THE INTRO...

[@faithfuls3rvant]

So nobody is going to talk about “inner city”??? lol This is very problematic and tone deaf. So classroom management strategies differ with “inner city” students?? This is the problem with teachers who don’t come from the context of the students they teach.
