Education & Reference - 10 October 2006

I'm sorry to ask another question on this topic, but it's something that's really depressing, upsetting and disturbing me. So helpful/sensible suggestions only please.
I'm teaching english as a foreign lang. It's going ok, but I have some serious issues with my teenage group. They are aged 12-13ish. In short, I'm losing control of the group. They're perpetually dicking around, even one of my colleagues heard it from an adjacent room. I've tried some tricks such as those suggested in my prev. quest, but I feel I'm losing them, I feel humiliated and intimidated by them, and put simply, I'm scared.
You may ask why don't I raise it with my bosses which i've sort of done, but 1) it's a business (priv. lang sch) and they're really interested in bottom line 2) the woman that manages us is just a really horrible person, we're pretty unanimous on that and I fear her even more than the kids!
So my question: what can I do to alleviate the situation short of resiging (and then being out of work)

Whenever I read something from a textbook for homework, I find that after reading a few pages I completely forget what was on the first few pages.

Any tips for helping me remember what I read?

A man dies and leaves a fortune to his two sons. However, only one will receive the inheritance. The two brothers must compete in a race across the Sahara. The brother whose camel crosses the finish line LAST would receive the inheritance. The brothers began the race, moving their camels as slowly as possible. After a few days of slow racing they came across an old wiseman and stopped and had dinner with him. They told the wiseman their problem. The wiseman gave them a suggestion, where upon the brothers jumped onto the camels and raced as fast as they could to the finish line. What did the wiseman tell them?

I wonder if I'm the only one who thinks it's inappropriate to use Yahoo Answers to do your homework. It defeats the purpose of learning, doesn't it? What do you think?

Classroom management is the most important skill for a teacher to have, in my opinion. Why is it so difficult to learn? Does it get easier over time? My first year teaching was a disaster. I had little CM and no one to mentor/help me. I'm planning on going back to teaching next Septemter (sub) and I'm terrified of not being able to control the class. Any ideas/thoughts?
