Calm Classroom System™ “Marjan, you are making a difference in the lives of students and in the world.” — Harry Wong, author of The First Days of School There was a day my class was completely out of control. My principal was watching the whole thing. I couldn’t get them back. Not that day. Not in front of him. I’ve been teaching for 29 years. I’ve had chairs thrown. I’ve been sworn at in front of 30 students waiting to see if I’d lose my temper. I’ve had students defy me publicly while the class watched to see what I’d do next. I’ve had that one student who needed police called in when things escalated beyond anything a classroom was built to handle. Nobody handed me a script for any of those moments. I had to figure it out the hard way, over years of mistakes that cost me sleep. This is what I wish I’d had on day one.
