  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 who refuse to listen to you can get really difficult to deal with. I mostly face this issue with middle schoolers. I personally try and ask them if they are okay or if there is anything wrong. I do not do this in front of the class, I ask them privately. Usually they start working again. I feel like that is because I am not coming off as threatening to them. Which can also be a disadvantage. There are just some students who do not want to listen to authoritative figures. If that happens definitely try and get them out of the room if they continue disrupting class and be firm. Let students know what will happen if they break a rule and what the classroom rules are.
