>> Get in the classroom.
Get in the classroom, see the kids, see how much you like being with them and understanding them,
see what they're doing, and so on.
It's, believe me, it's going to be an evolution from what I was when I was in my early 20's
to a person that was in their 40's and older.
So the older that I got, the more experience that I have.
And even the students that were a pain in my butt, you know,
you don't get into a shouting match.
A conflict never ends well for either party.
So discipline is something that you're going to have to kind of learn on the fly, you know.
There's no course that will teach you that and I don't care how many philosophy
of teaching classes that you take, it's not until you're actually
in the classroom that you realize.
Psychology classes help but not totally.
You have to be in touch with the students, what their needs are,
what their lives are like, their backgrounds, and so on.
You know, and be very trusting.
You have to earn their respect; they don't just give it to you.
