#57: “You'll NOT act a fool in my classroom and go unchecked!” What it really looks like to have solid classroom expectations and boundaries (HINT: It's not that)

What comes to mind when I say that as teachers we need...STRONG expectations and FIRM, CONSISTENT boundaries.Does it sound like:"You as a student are not going to act a fool in my classroom and go UNCHECKED. You are not going to be rude and disrespectful UNCHECKED. And yes go tell your parent I said it! Standards and boundaries from DAY 1!"OR does it sound like:"Welcome, Year 8, Come on in!"Spoiler alert: It's the latter. Because behind the scenes of that sentence, are all of the things ...
