[quote=Anonymous]I am a new specials teacher in DCPS and my personality is mild mannered. Very rarely did I yell before at another school in the MD suburbs. At my DCPS school I have found that yelling seems to be the only way to be heard with a large classes of 28 unruly students from low SES that I only see for one hour weekly. I am not proud of it but if I were to address the students in a normal tone when I need to hold their attention I would not be taken seriously or be heard. That is just the way it is. I always make sure that I do not use a sarcastic tone or demeaning language. My voice is neutral and I try very hard not to show any irritation. I would probably do things differently if they spent the majority of their time with me as their homeroom teacher. I have observed many seasoned teachers in my school. The most successful ones are really strict and serious with their students. (with their voices only).[/quote]
