Respect

My definition of respect:
  - actually listening to a person and not interrupt them.
  - listening to a persons opinion and understanding where they are coming from.
  - paying attention to someone when something is being explained, like in class.

I think respect is shown in a classroom by the students listening to the teacher, the students not doing something interrupting (like talking or doing something not appropriate) while the teacher is talking or explaining something in class. Some other ways are the students raising their hands when they have a question or are trying to answer a question. The impact of respect in the classroom is necessary. Having respect in the classroom help maintain control of the classroom, children will listen and pay attention to the teacher if they respect him/her. If there isn't any respect in the classroom all the students would be disruptive and it would be very hard to maintain control of the classroom. I think that respect is best established in a classroom by showing the students that you are caring and compassionate but you should also be viewed as an authority figure.
