As a mother of two kids, I think I developed already some essential skills needed to have a better classroom management than younger students. I have to take advantage of it. Because in my everyday life, I deal with the authority I have with my kids on most discipline situations. Thanks God, I've been watching Super Nanny for years now. She saved my life as a mother. Because it's not easy to become the authority, you have to stay consistent through the rules you give but also in the kind of punishment you give as well. Just like teachers are doing in their classroom.
It seems pretty obvious for me that kids need to have bounderies to suceed in a task. The only thing that we might forget is to clarify them as childish as they are. As future teachers, we have to develop our own way to work in our classroom. Our practicum is the perfect way to discover who we are and want we are expecting from our students.
It's a really good reflection to keep in mind to set our boundaries and our values to have the perfect computer classroom management. I truly believe that it does exist!
I wonder if Super Nanny will also save my life as a teacher!
