  Case: Administration Refuses to Suspend
A second year teacher begins teaching at an elementary school that is a Needs Improvement school on the failing list, has a student body that qualifies for 100% free lunch, and has 70% of the students diagnosed as EBD, having a conduct disorder, and/or ADHD. In her particular class, she teaches an all-male class where some of her students skip class, curse at teachers and students, start fights daily, and even threatens authority at the school. There is barely any parental support or involvement. However, when these instances occur administration refuses to suspend or reprimand the students and sends them back to class with a mere "slap on the wrist". Administration claims that suspending students or giving harsh reprimands are ineffective. What are some coping strategies or solutions for this teacher when her administration is working against her and majority of the school has chaos on a daily basis?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
If administration will allow it, come up with your own consequences for the child so that they are still held accountable for their actions.
