Keep reminding yourself that the most
unpleasant student you have is probably the one that needs you the most.

No "but"s about it!! Delete the word "but"
from your vocabulary, especially in parent conversations. It deletes everything you
said prior.

Always use the word "we"
in the classroom. It helps to make a positive atmosphere!

Make sure to send notes to parents when
students are doing what they should. Don't get caught up in writing only negative
notes to the same parents.
