1. Ask who is most comfortable and who is least comfortable in this situation.
2. Students that don’t feel comfortable will be very embarrassed by having to let another student grade their papers.
3. We as teachers have to make sure we are always in control of our emotions. We have to expect that some parents are just always going to react in a defensive mode and we need to be able to react to these parents in the most comfortable way we can.
4. The schools that did not exceed expectations had their focus strictly on test scores. Those schools that did meet expectations focused not only on test scores, but if the child was successful in other areas of school like social, behavioral and emotional aspects of a school day and year.
5. Doing what is best for the student is the ultimate goal.
6. If you show that it is “cool to care” there might be a change in the amount of respect given which in the long run will alleviate much of your discipline problems within the classroom.
7. Don’t join in!!!!
8. Care about them!!!!!

Of all the 14 things that matter most I believe #6 is the best. A positive atmosphere, praise and respect can benefit any child in a positive manner.
Do you find this valuable?
