  Case: Disrespectful Students
This week, my CT was out for a conference in Orlando. During this time, I took over with a substitute and a couple students were very disrespectful in my third period. They would completely ignore my comments, pull their phone out and rap profanities in the classroom. I tried everything to settle the situation(s). There aren't usually any issues when my CT is present, but I want students to understand that they must respect all teachers and adults. I ended up having one particular student sent to another class, and another sent to the office. What are some other ways that can help me manage student behavior when issues like this happen?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Students will always try to see how much they can get away with when their regular teacher is out of class. As a substitute I would tell you that sending students out is not a great solution but sometimes a necessary one. I try to give options to students such as you may do this or this and when you have been following my directions maybe you can have 5 minutes of free time. Also just accepting that sometimes you students can't handle change of having a new person in their classroom and nothing will help except for taking the time to build a relationship with the student.

Comments: I think this is a very useful solution. Students love to see what they can get away with, but you have to stand your ground. Offering punishments and rewards may help.
