Oops
Today I lost my temper a little bit and scolded a set of four students who never shut up in class. I instantly felt bad about doing it and still recognize that it was a bad thing to do. The more you scold them the less of their respect you can get.
They started talking a minute later anyway.
It's no longer the first grade class but instead the babysitting class.

Eh, I wouldn't worry too much. If they deserved some scolding, then so be it. Can't be a perfect role-model/teacher all the time. Besides, I don't think you can really make a few kids hate you over one incident in which I'm sure they recognized that they were mostly responsible (even if they turned around and continued being "bad" a moment later...)
You and Kerrie have a lot in common recently. :-)

Sadly, she teaches elementary school, and I teach high school.

Yeah, it's a lose-lose situation. All teens are punks.
