I often wonder: is it them or me? I often wonder how I know. I often wonder how I can tell if all the chaos is my fault. I know it ALL isn't, but some is. I wish I knew what it was really like for others and how much| of it is me. This is my second year teaching, and last year I had some difficulties but I guess that is to be expected. This year I have some real challenges and about 2/3 of a class of what seems like general talkers. I try my best to be structured and positive when possible, but occasionally I break down and get angry or yell though I try not too. and then I feel horrible about it. |

Today we got nothing accomplished. I feel like all I did was stop for kids talking. Today I started taking away a minute of recess for each time I caught them talking in class, as opposed to before where they got a warning and then owed time. But maybe its me? Maybe I give off the wrong vibes or have the wrong personality. I just don/t know. Any ideas, advice, suggestions, are welcome. I keep wishing I wasn't so new at this so i knew if it was me (and I should find a new carreer) or if it is those kids. Sigh--
