You do need to be "the mean teacher." I always had more respect for the teachers who knew when to take disiplinary action. If you are just nice all the time, the kids will learn that they can do whatever they want. Interestingly enough my favorite teacher in high school was the only teacher that ever gave me a dentionsion. Go figure? The kid may be upset or mad for the time being, but in time they will get over it.

I agree with Laura on this one. I (generally) enjoyed classes that were organized with rules and structure. Example: I didn't enjoy my spanish clas my senior year. The teacher was pretty much a push over and let the class boss him around. We had 4 tests the whole year. My algebra class my freshman year was one of my favorites, but everyone was scared of the teacher. He even had a reputation of making students cry! However, everyone respected him and he really was a fabulous teacher.
