The part of the book that jumped out at me, was the issue of declaring classroom policy before it becomes an issue.
I am not so sure that I want to spend the first day of my high school classes going over petty rules and other things that should be taken as common-sense for that age. I feel that stressing the rules and trying to establish that kind of relationship with students will only contribute to them acting up. This doesn't mean I would be a teacher that lets his students get away with everything. I guess this would fit into my philosophy that reasons, not rules, make us strong.
