The majority of the students come from poverty, and they have tendencies that demonstrate disrespect. One of those is eye contact when being talked to and another is students laughing when they are being redirected in front of their peers. Mr. Roberts knows that students of poverty respond better when being reprimanded in private and praised in public. He doesn't want to step on the new teacher's toes, but wants to help this teacher in this regard. What is the best way to do this? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Students from poverty do not automatically exhibit disrespectful tendencies. This is a bias that should be left behind.
