  Case: Talking like a white girl
I work at an inner-city school and I am the only white person in the classroom. Whenever I have a behavior issue with a student, I follow our school guidelines. When discussing it with my mentor teacher and team leader, they always respond that I need to quit talking to my students like a white girl. They inform me that my students come from the ghetto and sometimes it is necessary to be loud and "ghetto" to get respect from students. I don't agree with this. Any suggestions of how to get respect from my students and have them follow the rules of the classroom?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would implement a behavior system with STRICT consequences. I know what you are talking about and unfortunately some students need that alpha authority. I was in an all African American school and several teachers quit because the kids did not respect them. There was one teacher that had all the control, he was a zero-tolerance kind of person and was very firm...and loud. Good luck
