I was not new to instruction when hired by my employer but I certainly didn't and don't know everything. Three years ago I was thrown into a class setting without guidance or training about classroom management and it was the worst experience for me because I was not prepared to handle angry students. I think that all new and returning teachers should get some training in managing classrooms. it would definitely save everyone some heartaches.
I have been teaching elementary school children for years. I taught high school students when I graduated in 1973 for 3 years before going in to nursing. I have taught adults through the "AARP Safety Driver" program. Those experiences is nothing like the students that I have now. I totally agree with you.!!
