As excited as I am to become a teacher in the future I am a little nervous about the challenges that await me while getting there. I think that discipline is a big problem that I have to face and am already facing now in student teaching. On Shmoop.com there is a page titled "The Top 10 Challenges of Being a Teacher" and it talks about the challenge of discipline by saying, "Figuring out how to cope with arguments by listening to both sides, dealing with disruptive students, and calming down a whole class (or, on the flip side, waking them up) is the endless task of keeping your class in control, and possibly the biggest challenge most teachers deal with on a day-to-day basis." Especially in the afternnoon, I have seen how the students are very energetic and ready to go home so getting them to focus until the bell and trying to get them to listen to you in general is challenging, specifically with the younger grades. Classroom management can be very difficult and overwhelming for first time teachers but hopefully along the way I will grasp ways to keep my students on task. I would describe myself as an outgoing and overall an easy to get along with person but I have noticed over the years that sometimes I can be a bit stubborn in my ways and flexibility with my work ethic can be cahllengeing. I dont like to take risks and sometimes think that all the work needs to be done in one way of it's going to not work. I hope to learn how to maybe be a leader by letting others work and lead too. Being in a grade level with other teachers of the same age group might start off as cahllenging but I think it can grow to be beneficital by helping me to learn how to let others help!
