If you do not have control of your class you will lose countless hours of instruction that you can never gain back. You have not only wasted your time but more importantly you have wasted your students time of learning. By ruinning a tight ship and well planned out lessons and over planning you will cut out time for horseplay and side conversations in the classroom.…
