  Case: Disciplining Students
One of my biggest weaknesses is confrontation. My whole life I've struggled with being a confrontational person, and I Worry that once I begin teaching I will still struggle with this in the classroom. I know how easy it is to lose control over a classroom, and the importance of disciplining students and correcting misbehavior before it spreads. But if anyone else has struggled with confrontation like I do, what measures should I take to become comfortable with confrontation?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
As a teacher you will have to confront students. This can not be avoided. But it is important to have strong classroom management skills. The class does not have to run like a dictatorship. But, the student must follow the rules. Try letting them know that if they can follow the rules then everyone can get along. let them know that you do not want to be mean but if they can not follow the rules then you will have to until they can respect the rules again. This will put some fear in the students. No in a bad way though. They will know that you mean what you say and if they do not want a mean teacher then they will do what is expected. This hopefully will limit any negative confrontation with students.
