Case: Talking like a white girl
I work at an inner-city school and I am the only white person in the classroom. 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!)
I do not think it is necessary to stop talking like a white girl. That does not mean that you shouldn't try to relate to your students and their culture. There are other ways to do that, such as incorporating things from their culture into your classroom. I also think that setting expectations is key to good classroom management, and getting the students to also help set the rules, expectations and consequences will allow the students to feel more responsible for following these. |

| Comments: I do not think that the teacher has not set expectations for her students. I believe the trouble she is having is getting children to follow the rules of the classroom. She may need to use a more stern voice to get the children to respect her and the classroom rules. |
