I thought this chapter was very interesting especially when discussing the classroom being a secret place. I can really relate to this because I was very worried about people coming into MY classroom. I did not want to be judged by parents or co-workers. I would tense up when another adult was in the room and I felt that my students could feel a difference in the way I was teaching because I was nervous. Now I am more comfortable with people coming into my room but still I feel that I do not act the exact same when adults are in the room. My classroom is important to me. I want my classroom to be a comfortable environment for me and my students. They may not feel comfortable answering a question with someone else in the room and I may not teach the same way because I am nervous. I can honestly say, I feel that I am a better teacher when no one is visiting my class. Lucky for me, my classroom was not visited more than once a week or so.
