Fires Chapter 9

Chapter 9 focused on situations that can arise in a classroom and how teachers and students can use damage control to improve those situations.
This chapter gave me a lot of insight into some of the questions I have been having since starting Practicum. I have been wondering a lot lately how I'm going to be able to handle a class full of rowdy students. How do I keep them under control? What is the appropriate punishment? I really liked what the students had to say in this chapter because it eased my mind a little. One student talked about a first year student being tormented by that class the first semester then left alone the second semester because he was doing good. I really hope my students will cut me a break when they realize I'm there to help them and give them a good education.
