Home | How It Works | Stats Login | Register         Case: Teacher not in control I have subbed in a class for one week and it was hard for me to gain control of the class. It was at an inner city school and it was a fourth grade class. The kids were very disrespectful, did not listen to my instructions, talked back, and on my last day three fights broke out. I tried using the teachers point system where they would move their dolphins for good behavior but it back fired when certain students didn't get the chance to move their dolphin or had to move it down. I felt like I had no control and it was very difficult. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Students often have a hard time getting used to someone new in the room. I would suggest letting the students know you are not going to let up. Find something that would make them think more about their behavior.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: This is a great idea. Sounds like this class could use an ice breaker. Rated On: October 16, 2016 8:52 pm Rated By: ajuVyj
