While observing my 7th grade classroom a few weeks ago I discovered that a student had a lazer pointer in the classroom. I asked the student to come to the front of the classroom for a moment and he began to get an attitude. I asked him to hand me the lazer pointer and he told me, "You can't take this from me I did'nt have it out in your class." I informed the student that if he did not hand the lazer pointer that he would be sent to the office with a refferal slip. The student gave my the lazer pointer and returned to his seat promptly.
This incident made me feel as if i were not respected in my classroom. I felt like my students looked at me as just a student myself. I then began to operate in ways that ifelt the students would understand that yes I am a student , but also I am to be respected as a teacher.
