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!) I would suggest to this teacher that she should consider a different mindset. There is something called the Pygmalion Effect. According to the Pygmalion Effect, how you feel about your students will affect how they behave and achieve in your class. If your teacher has a defeated mindset towards her students, they will continue to display dismaying behavior and fall behind academically. I do not know how to motivate a person to think more positively, but a positive mindset is necessary for this line of work.                 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 No The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue No The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: Although the concept is very well-written, there is no real solution provided as the teacher is clearly struggling to maintain a positive mindset as is.
