 Re: too many kids that don't listen
I think the first rule of teaching is:
The students are most interested in themselves. 8)
So, find out which topics interest your students e.g. fashion, music, relationships, computers, sports etc. and use this information to interest them in your lessons.
Also, if at all possible, allow the students to interact - if not control the direction of your lessons. According to the first rule, the lesson should be all about them.
