Reflection
In the future when I have my own classroom open communication and a positive classroom environment will be the two things, I stress
the most. Growing up I always loved going into the classroom where I could sit and chat with the teacher about things other than school.
I will be the teacher students go to when something is going wrong in their life, or when they just need guidance. Mutual respect will be
given to each student in my classroom by myself and their fellow classmates, and if a student disrespects or “bucket dips” another student
intentionally there will be logical consequences appointed to that students. Getting to know the student and what they like to do or care

and what kind of teacher that the education system and students need in their lives.
