10 worst things a teacher can do

In the reading that lists the ten worst things a teacher can do, I of course had an issue with number one. I think that their point was very good, but maybe it should have siad be friends with your students or something because the point was really about boundaries. However number two is about being friends. I think that number one is no good. but the "being Friendly" part I guess I can understand friendly comments and such, but smiling is essential.Making good boundaries with your students and having them know that you are the leader and you are in control. The 'in control' part also goes along with number 5 and 6: never yell and never give the control of your classroom to your students. I like this little list. I think it is always good to have little tips and reminders as you pursue the responsibility of educating children.
Number three and four I really believe in. Singling out students in front of the class is horrible and problems should be addressed in a different atmosphere than the middle of the lesson. Fairness is always important.
