Welcome to Wikibooks, Swald004!

I think it's terrific that you recognize how difficult it can be to be a teacher and that one needs to be really dedicated to the profession in order to be successful. I also think that many teachers don't follow the philosophy that they should be respectful of their students. Too many teachers I had in the past did not respect us as students and therefore we did not respect them in return. Since you are someone who realizes how important respect is, I'm sure you won't have any problem earning your own students respect.

Hey! First off, I just want to say, I am also addicted to food! There, I said it. haha. But in all seriousness, I think it is great that you realize how important it is to talk with the students, rather than "talking down" to them. I can tell you want respect from your students and the way to get that is to respect them! Not a lot of teachers understand that. I think if you keep doing that while you are teaching, you will have no problem creating a fun and meaningful learning experience for your students.Ssere001 (talk) 06:00, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
