Today is pretty chill as students are working on the baby making lab, they are fairly independent. However, I need to get better at being evasive and not simply giving students the answers when they ask for questions. First of all, it will make my job easier to not tell them every single thing every time they ask and it will be good for them to actually make them think and draw out information from sources to be able to apply it.
Also, I need to be confident in the decisions that I make as a teacher and be able to back them up so that I have a presence that is consistent and confident. Sometimes when students question my decisions on grading assignments and then don't agree it makes me question my decision. Although I want them to like me I don't NEED them to like me. If they decide not to like me because I set a high standard to push their work then they are the ones need to adjust their thinking, not me.
I also need to remember to have students clean up after themselves before they leave.
