  Case: Calling students bad
During my volunteer work, the teacher would frequently try settle the class down by being silent in hopes they too would be quiet. When this did not work, she would look at me and tell me the kids are all bad, and she asks how can she be ding this job with kids that don't listen. The kids all hear her say this, and after, they act up even more. She only adds fuel to their fire.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Maybe it would be helpful to suggest some alternative redirection ideas to the teacher when she says this. While it may be awkward you should defend the students by stating your opinion that you do not think the students are bad, they are children after all, but that when she makes these comments in front of them it seems to only encourage their negative behavior.

Comments: At the end of the day they are kids and as adults we should adjust and contour our teaching strategies. Keeping them engaged in a fun environment may work best. But i agree that calling them bad is negatively impactful

Comments: This is a good suggestion for handling the classroom. Students will retain a lot of what a teacher says and if the teacher sounds like they’ve given up then the students will take that and wonder why they should care
