You are working on something that must be completed by the end of the day in addition to teaching your last class.

Incorporate the students as best you can into your classroom this year, but refuse to take any transfers in the future.
Request additional help from the principal in managing these students’ behavior.
Request that some of the children be moved to a different classroom.
Do your best to manage the students’ behavior on your own and say nothing to anyone else.

I often jump into things without thinking.
Use of different teaching styles with some students may mean you have to lower your standards for their performance.
Once you take a position with students, you should stick with it… even if you’re wrong.
I have a knack for understanding people who think differently than I do.
There’s probably some truth in the saying that “teaching would be fun if it weren’t for the students.”
