.disruptive behavior in the class can pose a real threat to the learning and teaching process and often times it turns a teacher's life into a living nightmare..."
What has your experience been in this area? Comments please?
To me, managing anger, whether in the classroom or at work is a situation many of us experience. Not everyone will behave or act the way we want them or expect them to. Thus, the way I have been instructed to relate to anger, is learning to give up control. I have been taught that we human beings seemingly like to think we are in control, till a situation or occurrence happens to make us realize that we were never in control of anything right from the start. So, I give up "control" of everything in my life on a daily basis to my Creator. I ask my Creator to teach me what to do. I learn on a daily basis to see myself no different from others, and that we are all sinners alike. I become more willing to listen to others.I relax and ask the Holy Spirit to take over and guide my thoughts and speech & I thank the Almighty God for this opportunity and gift to interact with Him.
