She set high standards, and expected them to be met, and they were. Her students met her high expectations not out of fear, but out of the sense of respect she instilled in all of them. <br /><br />Fortunately, her high school band director has worked closely with her middle school band teacher, and does things very much the same way. <br />Dirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04353273036394049597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322916946732811685.post-2590256786663075622013-08-13T15:00:20.170-04:002013-08-13T15:00:20.170-04:00I'm actually looking forward to the Parent-Tea...I'm actually looking forward to the Parent-Teacher conference.

This teacher expected and demanded discipline, respect, obedience, and the best effort from everyone in the class. Lame excuses were not tolerated, laziness was completely out of the question, and fools were not suffered at all. This teacher was female, btw.
