Learning the Hard Way

So today I was annoyed at how rude and disrespectful my students can be. Their only task during their drama class was to be a good audience to the elementary kids who were going to perform today. They were talking and just acting all out of order. I told them I wouldn't be taking them anywhere with me because they lacked the maturity. I feel like my students are a reflection of my abilities as a teacher, so if I take them somewhere they are NOT about to embarrass me. I have had to lay down the law as of late because these kids are not getting the verbal messages. So I have been preaching to these kids about being on time and being responsible. Well one kid shows up to my class two minutes late...we are outside in TWO portables...how in the world could you be late. ***DOOR LOCKED***. I have talked enough. Practicing what I preach. Two other kids left their stuff in the other room and didn't have it for my class. They were not allowed to go back to get it which means their homework also received late grades. I am not going. Molding children is such a task. SMH
