- We must understand that we are teachers, nothing else. We are not friends. We are in the classroom to teach, to help, to advice, to control, to guide, but we are not in the classroom to talk about friendship.
- We have rules to follow, but it doesn't mean we cannot be flexible. Every situation is different, therefore, we must know how to react.
- We have to be consistent. We can't say something today, just to contradict ourselves tomorrow.
- We need to have all in order. Having an agenda is the best way to have all written down, so nothing will be forgotten.
- Let's be serious, but let's not be mad. Let's be strong, but let's not be violent. Let's be direct, but let's not be insulting.
- We can have moments of good humour. But we don't have to lose all the time joking around.
- Our word must be a sign of trust. If we say something, then we must mean it. Yes is yes, no is no. Although, maybe sometimes is maybe.
- Let's not lose our temper, but if we have to, then let's do it with respect. (It is good to do it, but not always).
- We can hate the situation, not the student. So, when a students makes a mistake, we will take action upon the situation, we won't attack the student.
- Our word must not be a command, it must be a word that inspires to be followed.
