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 think you should talk to your mentor teacher and team lead and ask them what they mean by that and let them know that you do not like the way they worded that to you.
