In the article Top 10 Worst Things a Teacher Can Do, author Melissa Kelly has compiled a list of mistakes that new and veteran teachers should avoid making. She advises that teachers will have a harder time controlling his/her class if two or more of these mistakes are made. Problems such as, loss of student’s respect or self-esteem are consequences of these mistakes.
After reading this article I found some of the items on the list out-dated or close-minded. I look at some of these mishaps like, “avoid smiling or being friendly to a student,” as a way to gain a students attention and respect not a way to lessen a student/teacher relationship. I would be interested to see where she came up with these "10 worst" items.
