  Case: Dropout Prevention
I substitute at an alternative school for students who tend to dislike and treat school like it is the streets. I want to really be involved with the students and create a positive climate but they tend to feel as their is a threat every time something good comes their way. How can I make them feel that I am not threat while showing I care for them and their education?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I think it is important try and ease into the relationship rather than going full into trying to get the students to understand you. If these students are from an alternative school they probably have grown up with a disliking of school which means that their opinion is not going to change over night. Start slow with those students and work with them, I'm sure that they will come around.

Comments: I agree with you that teachers should take it slow. Younger students can be especially hesitant with new people so the teacher should keep that in mind,

Comments: I also think that you have to build a trust with the students first. They obviously acted out enough to be placed in an alternative school, so what is going on at home? Most of the time they just need that one person to connect and be a positive role model.
