However, there is one thing that is troubling me.

I have been in a particulary difficult Year 6 class - ironically its a smaller class but they seem to have put all the ifficult children in the same class - under achievers mixed with behaviour issues (not sure thats the best way as rarely is there a peer role model)

Anyway, I had to exhaust many beh.man. techniques today and yesterday but I was wondering if anyone had any advice for reacting to bad behaviour emotionally. As a fresh graduate, I feel sometimes that my frustration does externalise itself, and although I am in control and not shouting, I don't want to feel angry with the class. I stopped a lesson and started a circle time session about their behaviour and we had a good conversation, and to my horror, I actually started to feel myself well up.

Has anyone else felt like this and when does the time come that you stop taking all this so personal?!!
