"This morning I have to make decisions. In a minute the bell will ring. They'll swarm in and what will they say if they see me sitting at the desk? Hey, look. He's hiding out. They are experts on teachers. Sitting at the desk means you're lazy or scared. You're using the desk as a barrier. Best thing is to get out there and stand. Face the music. Be a man. Make one mistake your first day and it takes months to recover."

If you are a loving person to the kids (Mr Brady), treat them with respect and clear expectations all should go well.
Dad
If that doesn't work, scare the insolence out of them.
Carol - you don't know them, they don't know you. Remember your favorite teachers and the relationships you had with them. Whatever you liked about them . . . bring to your students. All will be well. (Of course, I do like the "scaring" concept, too!)
