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!) It is important that you gain a relationship with your team so that you can send students that need a change of environment for a short time period. If this problem continues you need to explain to administration that this behavior is hindering others from learning.
