Who are these people that write these advice books for teachers?

And who are the teachers that actually think these methods work?





I was reading another question from a guy that started substitute teaching. He said he read a book by Harry Wong and thought he was all set to go, only to find out he was wrong. He said he basically had to teach himself the basics, and was still struggling. I hear a lot of fruity advice from people, such as ';Don't yell, it's a weakness,'; ';have work ready for the kids to do all hour,'; ';treat them fairly.';





Have these people ever been in a classroom, especially a ghetto one? They don't even listen! They're animals! No disrespect, they are, and they don't want to be there! Their parents don't want to accept the fact their kids are hooligans!





I remember where I came from as a kid. We got beaten by our teachers. I didn't like it, but our classes were always quiet and well-behaved. It helped that the older kids were prefects that reported on the younger kids for the teachers. It's very effective, believe it or not.Who are these people that write these advice books for teachers?
why don't you write a book on how to teach since you seem to know so much.
