At some point in every teachers career they will have a classroom where things start to go wrong (usually this does not take too long). In this chapter on page 169 it gives you some recommendations if you do happen to lose control of the classroom.
This chapter will really help any teacher when they feel like giving up altogether on the class activity due to numerous different reasons. One thing that really stuck out out in this subsection was the idea that we as teachers should not feel afraid to apologize to a student. Another great idea listed in this chapter was the idea that in no way should we judge our teaching on how well we are liked by the student body. In all reality it seems that the teachers that students hate are the best teachers while on the other hand if a teacher is really liked it turns out they may not be the best teacher.
