Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences Losing one’s temper in front of students is one of the most problematic scenes in classrooms. I remember being a new teacher in a class filled with twenty-six first graders, nothing ever prepared me for that moment, when they all needed to use the washroom or help to open their lunch boxes. The frustration I faced daily, along with little to no coping strategies were ultimately the key elements that helped me decide to never work with very young learners. There are many reasons why teachers lose their temper in classroom settings, but the good news is there are many ways we can regain control and recreate positive learning environments, as we will discuss in this essay.

Utah is home to red canyons, creeks, and rivers that make for the perfect outdoor wonderland.

Still today, Utah is a premier travel destination for Americans and people from across the globe. Over millions of years, the region has been shaped by water, wind, and time.

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas To me, it looks awkward if a teacher loses his/her temper in front of students, though it’s unavoidable sometimes because as far as the students are concerned, a teacher is someone perfect in every way. I have seen students fighting teachers while at high school and it wasn’t a good experience to have an encounter with. The reality is, not all days are the same and teachers are also not immune to reacting unexpectedly in any given situation especially where students are involved. No man is perfect.
