  Case: Defiant Student
I have a student in my internship who does not respect me whatsoever. When the teacher is around he listens well but if she is gone he will not do any work for me and talks back. Any solutions for this problem?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I think that it is the teacher's job to let all students know that the intern is just as much of a teacher as she is. And if the teacher leaves the room, and students act up, the teacher should let the students know that she gives the intern permission to discipline them. And if/when they act up, discipline them. Give out consequences. Don't hesitate. Don't let the small things go. If other students see you disciplining someone or a group of trouble students, eventually they will all button up. They won't respect you until you give them a reason to. If you let them get away with things, they won't listen to you when you need them to.

Comments: I agree with this solution. It is important that the teacher aids you in informing the students that you are their teacher as well and that you have the authority to provide consequences for their actions. I think that it important not to let the small stuff slide and for you to be firm with them. Also, your CT should not be leaning you alone with the students?.. Is there another teacher in the room while she is gone?..

Comments: I agree, make it known to the teacher first, and then tell students you are just as much a teacher as she is. You have the right to discipline so do so. They need to learn respect!

Comments: I agree even if it is uncomfortable it is important to give out consequences for disrespect. it is good classroom management practice for you for the future as well. the intern does deserve just as much respect as the teacher, I agree you should make sure to tell the whole class this
