Learning how to Teach

I subbed today for 3 high school math classes. The first two went pretty well, but the 3rd one got out of hand. They started throwing things across the room like 7 year olds so I treated them like 7 year olds. We had a group time out. Everyone had to move their desks back to where they belonged, and sit in silence for the last 15 minutes of class. One girl kept talking and I asked her if she felt like she was more special than her classmates. I hate when it has to come to that. But I like that I'm able to regain control of a classroom. It's better than I did last semester.
