  Case: Acceptable Behavior is Not What it Used to Be
Mr. Franklin is an old school style teacher who prioritizes student discipline and classroom control. In his class, students are very well behaved because he has almost total control. During unstructured time, Mr. Franklin has a hard time accepting certain behaviors that are simply allowed to pass by in today's school. Other teachers and the administration at Mr. Franklin's school are much more tolerant and lenient of typical rambunctious middle school behaviors. How should Mr. Franklin deal with the changing disciplinary expectation in today's schools?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I don't think Mr. Franklin should lower his standards of acceptable behaviors. Due to the changes in society, things are certainly different than they were. They're getting worse every year, in my opinion. Mr. Franklin shouldn't get too worked up about behaviors not happening in his class, but he should continue to correct the behaviors. Some of those students are lacking a strong male figure, and Mr. Franklin could really instill some values in those students.

Comments: I believe that while there should be certain expectations set in the classroom by what the teacher prefers and believes will better the setting of education, I don't think the key is to be a strong male figure or change their behaviors - not as a teacher.

Comments: This is not a solution I would use. It doesn't respond to the solution for Mr. Franklin to deal with changing disciplinary expectations. It suggests to not resolve the problem.
