Classroom Management – There are 3 Things that go to the Principal’s Office Anything illegal or immoral Overt Defiance Blood & Guts Fighting – Call an ambulance, get a doctor/nurse ****EVERYTHING ELSE IS YOURS TO DEAL WITH IN YOUR CLASSROOM
TEACHER ATTENDANCE This is extremely important. Be professional. Your sick days are very valuable.
In Every School There are 3 Teachers who: Have the worst attendance Send more students to the principal’s office than any other teacher. Expects the principal to manage their classroom from his or her office. Monopolizes the principal’s time with petty discipline referrals. ******Don’t become one of those 3 teachers.
