I don’t think it’s weird at all, as long as that teacher-student divide is still there. I enjoy having personal conversations with students. It creates more of a bond that can help the students feel more confident in their abilities in the classroom.

Is it weird for students to want to be friends with their teachers? Not like outside of school, but if you have a teacher that you connect with and can talk to like a friend it shouldn’t be that bad. I guess administrators could say otherwise though.

How do you deal with students that refuse to stop misbehaving? Like no matter how much you tell them to stop doing something they always go back to doing it when you aren’t looking their way.
Contact home immediately, and continue to contact parents/guardians when this type of behaviour occurs. In some cases, there will not be any support from home, but it shows the student that home and school are connected, and that the behaviour will not be tolerated. Get the admin team on your side by talking to them about your concerns. Be firm with your rules and provide consequences.
There is no magic answer, as some students will just continue to behave poorly, but these are some strategies you could use. Good luck!

What do you do in order to love your job despite all the issues with students, parents and superiors?
I have to remember why I’m there in the first place, and that is to care for kids and provide them with the skills to lead a life outside of school. That is what is most important.

I’m going to college next January and I would just have turned 17 (birthday is in November) ,my parents told me not to tell anyone I’m 17 and I was just wondering why? Is there a reason why I’m not supposed? They didn’t really give me a reason
I don’t know why you are not supposed to tell anyone your real age; that would be your parents’ own personal preference. Talk to them about how you are confused about this matter.
