Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Make sure you are taking the time to learn the students names and address them accordingly. Even if you are only in the room for one day it is definitely helpful to know their names so you can show them that you care and are not just there to babysit. I also believe that you should come into the classroom with confidence because they will always try to tear you down. Showing yourself as the authority figure may not make you the most liked, but it will get you better behavior.
