But for me, that's what makes teaching fun and exciting. It becomes a game to see who is going to win. I love it when I win, not just because I am competitive, but because I have the students' best interests at heart. I know when I win, that the kids are really the ones who win. That's the kind of adrenaline rush I like! Keep up the great work! Chili’s absolutely right. But for me, that’s what makes teaching fun and exciting. It becomes a game to see who is going to win.

Really, each class is different, and can change from day to day, requiring that you be nimble with your tactics. What worked for the candy group today may not work tomorrow - they may decide that they want to goof off more than they want the candy - and you need to be ready with an answer to that. I think, though, that you're on an EXCELLENT track, I think that your observation is going to go swimmingly, and I think that you've made major strides toward becoming an effective and professional teacher! YAY, You!!
