I tell my students that not only are we becoming better mathematicians, but we
are working hard on becoming better students. There are plenty of daily routines
that will be crucial in their future classes. I especially do so in my class since most
of my students are freshmen. They need to be reminded of classroom expectations
at my school site. I treat every one of my students with respect and expect them to
show respect to their peers and teachers as well. I havent had a behavioral issue
during my brief time at the school site. Teaching is one of the most rewarding
careers and I wouldnt change it for the world. 9/28/17
