Respect!

1. My definition of Respect is..listening with out interrupting ... Respect is...taking other's feelings into consideration ... Respect is...keeping an open mind...Respect is agreeing to disagree...Respect is trying to understand other's point of view...Respect is building others up rather than tearing them down..Respect is honesty..Respect is many things. How respect looks in the classroom to me is when teacher earns the kids respect and then the kids start to respect the teacher.. also...kids and teachers has something in common..that is that they are human beings and they all make mistakes..teachers should be willing to admit when he/she makes a mistake and apologize to them..just as kids should do the same..teachers should be real serious about what he/she is teacher and teach it with a passion..The impact on respect or lack of respect in a classroom is when the kids are very disrespectful..it has a huge impact on the teachers work..Parent often times have a role in this becuase they weren't being a parent at home and there for their kids or taught them to be respectful of one another..Teachers often times get blamed for things that they shouldn't have..one might feel that they arent doing thier job as a teacher. Respect is best established in a classroom when teachers set down the rules and earns the kids respect and shows them that they are human beings and they do make mistakes but that we all help one another to succeed!
