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!) Make sure you talk correctly because we want to be a model for our students. We really work on making the kids talk in complete sentences at all times in our school, and it really helps their writing.                 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 suggested solution is not relevant to this case.

"Speaking correctly" means something different to everyone.
