Reflection 4 (Emotions and teaching)

At the first week of the teaching practice, I admit that I introduced myself as a friend, not a
teacher. Some of the students even refuse to call me by teacher or MS because the first
impression that I gave it to them was a friend. Separating my emotions and teaching from each
others something that I couldnt succeed on. A lot of my friends when I tell them the problem
they say to me that I have to be stricter with them and do not give them the chance to disrespect
me. Some of the reasons that made me like that are because I have a lot of sisters and brothers
who are younger than me and I feel those students are like my family and I treat them by that
way.
for each action, there is a reaction, I was believing and still in this quote. The action was
treated them as friends and the reaction was struggling to make them respect me. They
disrespected me because I didnt give them a clear idea about the who is me teacher, or friend.
At the next week, I was trying to change my relationship with them. I was trying to be stricter
and more serious with them because if I didnt be serious they wont take me seriously. This
strategy that I was using named by punishment and behavioral. I was talking to them when the
break starts and cut the talking on the class. I was also confirming to them that I am MS Laila
not Laila. By these several things, I think that they learned to respect and listen to me.
