Unkind words in the class.....

                

Owwww!!!!

Have you ever had unkind words said to you in class? What was the long-term effect if any?

Must we fight in front of the children???

"Teacher, teacher, daddy beat mummy and she packed her bag and left",

wept one of my Key Stage 1 children on that sad day all those years ago......" It was a heart wrenching moment for me.

What was your most heart-wrenching moment in class?

O be careful little eyes what you see....

I remember way back very early in my career when one day, I met a group of 5yr olds huddled together and giggling over the very hot "jist" going on.....

 "I now know mummy loves daddy 'cos I saw them kissing (giggle) and they didn't know I was watching them"

.... Have you walked into your very young children having similar conversations or viewing similar "acts"? What was your reaction at the time?

Towards making a difference....

Being a Professional Teacher

 The right body language and tone of voice are very crucial to a successful lesson.  Do you believe this?  How have you been affected by either or both as student yourself? Have you observed your colleagues in their classes and watched how their tones and body languages have made their lessons successful or otherwise?
