I definitely agree with you. In fact, when I returned to school today I told the children that I wasn't going to do anymore yelling. It's so tempting to return to the yelling, but you're right, I have to stick to my guns and not yell. Thank you so much. I definitely agree with you.

They are curious as to why I'm just looking at them and not talking so they turn all their attention on me to see what is going to happen next.

Interesting -- the pitch of voice. I had not considered that (he says, booming in his mind) And this is a good reminder to put in the mental suitcase: Don’t confuse meanness with firmness.

If only I could do these all of the time:) Nothing good can happen in class until management is established I will pass this along to some of our younger teachers. Very good reminders.

Knowing your material is important, and dealing with students who want to test your rules will get easier in time. Experience is something that should be highly valued in teaching.
