At our K-8 school during graduation the 8th graders are asked to thank an adult and write a letter. The strictest teacher who handed out failing grades went home with roses from kids who were cursing him most of the year. By the end of the year he had an almost 100% passing on state tests. He sets boundaries, enforces rules, takes toys, doesn’t take any excuses and is loved for it. Kids respond and respect good teachers who hold them accountable. What do you think about strict teachers?

Every teacher has to have their own style. I've seen strict teachers and laid-back teachers be equally effective, and equally bad.

The common denominators for good teaching, imo, are clear expectations and genuinely caring about kids.

Kids can tell if you care, no matter what your style is, and they respond to it.

I agree, kids can tell

Most children these days do not get structure with no excuses. I think it is great!

I agree

I agree, students must be held accountable for their actions. I never made a promise to my children that I can’t keep because once trust is broken it’s hard to be repaid. Plus, what will an educator teach a student if they are just allowing them to walk away from their responsibility? I respect a teacher who has high expectations for their students and hold them accountable for their actions!

You can be strict and fair. Most kids long for external controls and limits bc they’ve not yet internalized these limits for themselves. The external limits coming from the teacher helps keep these kids on track

Be fair. Be strict.

I have sometimes more respect from students who I have held accountable. Plus they know I do not hold it against them and if I teach them again they know this. Kids need structure and sometimes we are the only ones giving them this because a lot of parents do not unfortunately.

Curious as to how many deals at once is typical for a first year associate to take on (M&A, mostly private equity clients). Deal size is lower middle market and I’ve worked on deals ranging from $1-$110M. 2 deals at once is plenty for me, but it seems like my peers are able to take on more than that at once and still do fine. Maybe I’m just a slow learner/out of my league at the big law firm I’m at.
