The most common mistakes that teachers make.
Attempting to control a class
Sometimes teachers while explaining new topic or example notice that pupils start loosing their attention and focus on something else rather than listening to the teacher. Some teachers get very nervous and attempt to control the class by shouting or doing something else. They don't understand that even if they l try to do their best if pupils don't find your explanation interesting they wouldn't listen to the teacher. To solve this problem and attract pupils teacher should change the way of speaking and by giving different examples, changing his voice make pupils be interested in the subject
Taking poor behavior personally
As it is known most pupils can’t behave properly and always try to joke with teachers and interrupt them while they think that pupils don’t respect them and don’t appreciate their work. This may lead to a conflict between pupils and teachers. In this situation teacher has to take easily all the jokes and actions of pupils and remember always that pupil is only a child.
Criticizing the person rather than behavior
Teacher’s aim is to teach pupils and socialize them. Teachers usually when trying to bring up the pupil and make him behave properly forget to control their speech and say very personal things about the pupil. They can do that but be very careful and if for example the pupil doesn’t know hot to solve any task or answer the question, teacher mustn’t insult the pupil but just point out on his mistake
Not giving children a second chance
Teachers have to remember that every person makes mistakes and if the pupil made something wrong or wrote any test or exam very bad, the teacher should be understandable and kind and give the pupil the second chance to correct himself and get better results
Making threats
There are some teachers who threaten to their students in order to make them be quieter or get better results in exams. This is a mistake of teachers because by threatening teacher will not make the student listen to him and work harder but it might make student feel unconfident and start not liking classes with that teacher and thereby the subject.
