Status Updates From Regie in de klas

I really like the way he approaches the topic of behaviour. Like he says that some teachers think that it’s their teaching that provides them with a good classroom when really it’s just a lucky cohort of students.

I also like the way he keeps referring back to the fact that the culture at home will likely dictate how a child behaves. If the parents hate school the child will likely hate school too.

I love the use of metaphors and the way he’s so honest about the fact that we as teachers aren’t usually explicitly taught how to manage behaviours. I respect him more for being open about the fact that he had no idea what he was doing when he first started teaching.
