The first part that caught my eye in this chapter was on page 19 where the students made a list of things entitled "If you're looking for respect..." and it outlined the things a teacher should do if she or he intends to have the respect of the students. They said such things as, "show up on time" and "don't assume you know everything about someone".
The reason this part of the book jumped out at me was because I think when we go into a school to teach and we are the adults we automatically believe we should be respected. This book just goes to show us that the students have certain expectations from us and we need to meet them in order for them to respect them and thus make our job a whole lot easier.
