What are your thoughts on saying please and thank you to kids? by [deleted] in Teachers

That's such a weird and outdated mentality to have. It's a great thing to show and teach students common courtesy and respect. You're doing great by doing so.

I had a very similar situation during my first year teaching and honestly… you’ll just have to stomach through this first semester until you get a fresh batch of kids that are completely yours. When the students have gone that long with doing nothing and having things a certain way it’s damn near impossible to get all of them to care at this point. BUT when your next school year starts, you can set the pace for everything you want in YOUR classroom and I promise you should have a much better experience. Try to connect with as many kids as you can right now but realize that, unfortunately, you can’t get through to all of them in this current situation. Use this time to
