You have a few options here. You could give up on them, or you could treat today as a new beginning. I would ask questions and seek out help from other teachers around you. Find one who has experience and a peaceful attitude, and make a list of questions to ask each day. Make it your personal mission to turn your teaching around in the remainder of the school year.<br><br>I had a horrible first two years.

I am confused. I completely gave up on a certain class. I have not control. There are 6 kids. They are all different levels. The only thing they are equal is in talking and not doing the expected work becuase they don't want to. It is in the middle of the year so all these things about setting things up at the beginning of the year doesn't help. Look, what about the school you're teaching in. I am confused.
