Well Mr. Z, you need to build your classroom community! Students need to know and see that you care!
What do you mean?
Okay, I'll try that!

Timmy, you're my only good student!
Ah yes.. break. No need to talk to these annoying children
Students aren't able to feel vulnerable and try when you are showing them you don't care for them or their unique selves! Show them you care and I bet your students will become better listeners in no time!
