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 feel you need to have a stronger classroom management plan and let your students know the expectations you have for them. Tell them about the positive and negatives that come from following these rules and expectations. With that you will need to follow through on your rewards and consequences. With a continued routine and relating to your students while still balancing a professional position you should be bale to connect with your students and have the behaviors decrease.                 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: I agree Rated On: February 21, 2019 1:33 am Rated By: Lawrence Poluchowicz
