For those, who don't know the old saying refers to giving your students a stern and demanding demeanor to set the year off right. If you are seen as a strict teacher perhaps then you will not have as many behavioral issues in your classroom.
For myself I don't follow this old saying. However that is not to say I do not start the class atmosphere off the way I intend for it to go along. I believe in setting true expectations and guidelines from the very first Welcome to my class phone call I make to parents and students. This way we all get off on the right foot and start a year fresh the right way.
Share your thoughts on the old saying below, I love hearing from my readers!
