The majority of the students come from poverty, and they have tendencies that demonstrate disrespect. One of those is eye contact when being talked to and another is students laughing when they are being redirected in front of their peers. Mr. Roberts knows that students of poverty respond better when being reprimanded in private and praised in public. He doesn't want to step on the new teacher's toes, but wants to help this teacher in this regard. What is the best way to do this? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) One of the best approaches to take in this situation would be to have a private conversation with the teacher and to inform the teacher about how socio-economic status can impact students' learning. The experienced teacher can share some strategies that are useful when working with students that are poor.                 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 solution is helpful because the new teacher can learn from strategies that work to make his work somewhat easier.
