suffering or enjoying weeks?

2 weeks of teaching, more or less already get used to the environment.
I always wondering that am I use the wrong method to teach the students. For me, I often use the stiff method more than soft method. You know, the children scare of being scold or beaten, so when I scold the whole class loudly they shut up immediately and punish them standing. Some classes really really gone too far. They like to talk nonsense and make noise.

My throat hurt and my health is affected since I use the wrong method to shout n scold them. I should be use the method of breathing at pubic region instead I used the lungs' "energy". excessive energy is used and this affect my health. Asthma seems comes back. I feel very short of breath sometimes. But I bear it, maybe this make me looked tired, some collegues asked me. I just say I have nothing. This bring to bad mood, my students that really need to get scolds get scolded by me badly. If my condition is better, I can scold harder.

I hope the asthma won't get worse...

Apart from that, some students are improving. I am happy for that. It is a success though for a teacher. I will do it better.

Friend,
It pains me to see you this way. It's rather suffering to be in such situation where you need to scold the students. It's not that you used the wrong method, but it's THE ONLY way...If u treat them too well, they tend to take advantage of you. IF you scold them, they might be scare of you and respect you. But betta not go overboard, it might turn out pretty bad. But anyway, don't take things to hardly. They are just little young kids, try making them happy instead of scolding them for a change. I'm not very good in this field, so don't dare to give much comments.
Hope your asthma will be betta. Don't overwork, it's bad for your health.
Take care. Sorry that I wasn't able to chat with you these days, I have too many reports to do. Really sorry. But do take care of your health k?
All The Best
