Chapter 4b

This portion of the chapter reminds me of the Dr. Wong videos we watched in one of Dr. Johnson's class.  The book and Dr. Wong discusses how important the first day of class is.  From experience this is so true, if a teacher does not start hitting procedures, rules, and routines the very first day.  The students are out of control.  Just like we are told when going on interviews, first impressions are lasting ones---the same can be said for you as a teacher in your classroom on the very first day.  Students like structure, for some school is the only dependable thing they have.
