Chapter 3: Classroom Behavior

When the text said right off the bat that teachers are afraid of teenagers I was taken aback. A student even compared teenagers as dogs that can smell out fear. This struck me as strange because I always experienced that adults in general look down on young people. One of my concerns is students will not take me seriously but I am not afraid of them. I guess it is because I am still young and do not feel as threatened personally about the possibility of a power struggle between teenagers and myself.
