In chapter nine, I enjoyed reading the suggestions the co-authors provided for when teachers feel discouraged. I think the best advice a teacher can get comes straight from their students.
This “jumped out” at me because the co-authors truly had some great advice for new teachers, such as Vance’s comment: “A kid can tell when a teacher knows what he’s doing, and believes in what he’s doing” (168). Teachers just need to be confident and can’t let students walk all over them. It is also good to know that students will probably test their teachers until they are no longer scared.
