How does she get that respect?
It is certainly an intangible.

My daughter is a teacher, and I know from visiting her classroom that she
is one who can control her kids (grades 8 & 9). Her class is typically very
noisy, but when she speaks, there is quiet. They respect her; respect is a
little different from what it was in my childhood. We “respected” our
teachers because they had the means to punish us, and we were scared of
them. Janice has their respect because she is a leader, and they know she
is interested in them and can help them. Even very shy kids have no fear of
going to her for advice, or just to talk. They know she will make time for
them, even if she is busy and has to tell them to wait.

I just finished reading a Canadian novel called Why Shoot The Teacher.
It's a story about a new teacher in the depression time in Saskatchewan.
I have a question for the group and specifically the one who were
teachers.
Some teachers can "control" a group of students and some can't. What is it
that the ones who can control the group do that is different than the ones
who lose control. The students have an ability to pick up on what they can
get away with.
I look forward to the comments.
