First of all, as it is well known, a teacher must give direct instructions in order to have the control of the classroom and do not start a class if the students are talking, because they won’t pay attention to them and to the subject.
In the classroom, a teacher always must be monitoring in order to know what is happening in his or her classroom, in terms of order, behavior and if the students are learning the lecture.
To sum up, the teacher must be conscious that his role in the classroom it is conditioned by how he can deal properly the power that he have as a teacher, do not misunderstand the word power as a negative and despot character, instead try to be a positive role model and a fair leader.
