I have always preferred teaching teens to kids. You can talk and discuss things with teens. They are already nurtured so half your work is done! I'm not very strict with my girls, you can't be with that age-group. I have a freindly approach to teaching and even laugh and joke with them during lessons. I don;t beleive in a rigid teaching atmosphere but the girls know what their limits are with me.
I once walked out of the class when a group of students started chatting away and not paying attention to what I was explaining, They felt really bad and apologised.
Whatever approach you use, the most important thing is how much the students have learned from you at the end of the day.
