To me the most interesting thing in the chapter was the chart on page 42 that shows how when a teenager feels like something, what they are apt to to and then how a teacher could change that feeling. Some of the problems listed are: anxiety, boredom, being unseen, restless, insecure and upset.
This chart could in really handy one day if we are trying to figure out why a certain student is acting the way they are. This would be even more important if the student who is acting out has never done this behavior before. If one of our brightest students is starting to pass notes, play on the laptop, or socializing then we know we have step up the lesson a little bit for them because they are becoming bored. This chart could be a great resource for any teacher who needs help in classroom management.
