From time to time my co-teacher leaves for small group instruction, the students I am left with completely change and do not behave the same way that they did when my co-teacher is in the room. Might I add that most of the issues are with my boys, and my co-teacher is a man. Today I snapped and asked them, "What makes it so different when Mr. "so and so" is not in the room?" One of the boys said, "Because he is a man!" I did not respond to their comment, but it did bother me. How do I get these boys to stop misbehaving when my co-teacher is not in the room with me? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) You need to explain that you have just as much authority as your co-teacher and that if they do not listen to you, you will be forced to take action against them. If you feel comfortable with this I would also speak to my co-teacher and have him explain to them in private that you are just as qualified and a authority figure as he is.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) No The suggested solution is relevant to the case No The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement No The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue No The suggested solution is original No Comments: This may come off as a joke to them, referring back to when she directly asked and they completely disrespected her.
