Case: Risking relationships for the sake of order
As a white woman, it take takes a while for some minority students to buy in to the mutual trust/respect needed in class. It has taken first semester to establish a trusting relationship with a group of African American girls in my 11th grade class. Now, we have a really great relationship, however, it seems like they are a bit too relaxed with me. They have a tendency to talk to each other at inappropriate times and often are distracting to others because of this. I've been very patient and have lightheartedly asked them to "bring it back in, girls", etc. to no avail. I have been wrestling with changing their seating arrangement to separate them all. They will be very angry about this. Do I risk it for the sake of order in the class or do I seek an alternative?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Maybe discussing why their behavior is problematic is a good place to start. Having a conversation with them individually may help them see that you respect who they are and what they want, and they have an important role in how the class runs. Giving them a sense of equality and responsibility may help preserve your relationships with them and get your class back in order. |
