  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 have the same problem at times. What is allowed in today's school was not tolerated when I was in school. My personal opinion is that he should stick to his standards and practices. Students will respect him more if they do not see him falter in his ways. Showing consistency in behavioral management is crucial in a classroom.

Comments: While there might be differences from teacher to teacher, keeping consistency in your classroom is key to trying to maintain behavior - even though perhaps some compromise should be practiced.
