 Definitely agree.

Wow…my worst class was my first foundations class. They were mostly 14 year old girls who had not adjusted to being in high school. Mind you, this was my first encounter in the public school system as well. I seeked help from the counselor for freshman students which was no help at all. So, I decided to use games and coloring activities related to cosmetology and that helped a lot!

Assumptions are a lot of our mistakes. 
Building student/ teacher relationships to help foster positive student behavior.

Even though I know it's true. Our students are attached to technology and it's a great to put that to use in the classroom as a learning tool!

Enthusiasm is one of the key aspects in keeping the students at peak interest in class. Empathetic listening really goes a long way!
