That was a fucking horrible end to the day.
Damn the teacher that I'm replacing for leaving this class with the expectation that they can be as loud as they want and talk whenever they please while doing absolutely no work whatsoever and still passing. Now they hate me from the start, just because I won't let them skate by.

They may not like it at first glance, but they'll respect you for this. They know themselves that their behaviour isn't right. Keep your profile. Machiavelli says: "Be cruel in the beginning. Later you may give them more line". It really doesn't work the other way.
One kid told me once about her teacher: We loved him in the beginning, cause we had to do no work. We hated him in the end, for we didn't learn.
Keep faith in your methods. Be strong in front of them. They know you're right.

Stick to your guns. They will (perhaps grudgingly) respect you for it in the end. My teen daughter has several teachers that are "tough". She likes and respects them, because she gets to learn from them. A couple of other teachers are "fun but useless". She gripes about the taskmasters, but openly despises the pushovers.

I taught a couple of college classes for awhile and loved it.
But k-12? Forget it. I wouldn't last a day.
You have my admiration.

I'll be lucky to not be in a padded room by the end of the year.

What grade level/subject is it? I love my middle school band kids...mostly.
It's high school... I have all remedial math classes, filled with students who failed their ITBS and ITED (Iowa tests) math portion. Most of them have learning disabilities and/or are considered at-risk. Some are neither of those, but just act bratty. I'm the one who is supposed to get the back on track. Then I have one class that's just considered an "easy math credit", which is Consumer Math. The kids in that class are the ones allergic to work.
It's a noble goal, but fucking stressful. And quite frustrating.

This is something I could not do. Fortunately almost all my kids want to be there. I do not envy you.
