This is a big pet peeve of mine. Students who just walk out of class assuming that I am fine with it or don’t see them. Yes, I do see you! It’s rude and it concerns me because I am responsible for your welfare! I think much of it is their belief that they may just come and go around a teacher who is not the “real teacher”. Perhaps they want to see if I will let them go or if I will actually say something to stop it. Recently, there was a student who enjoyed particular freedoms and decided to leave the classroom and do other projects knowing that I was the teacher. It disappointed me because this student is a responsible and smart student. I felt disrespected but my SA had a talk with this person and made it clear that it is my classroom now. I know now that I can be more stern with these students because I always stick to my word and maintain high standards.
