It was at an inner city school and it was a fourth grade class. The kids were very disrespectful, did not listen to my instructions, talked back, and on my last day three fights broke out. I tried using the teachers point system where they would move their dolphins for good behavior but it back fired when certain students didn't get the chance to move their dolphin or had to move it down. I felt like I had no control and it was very difficult. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) It seems there is not a very strong classroom management. These students need a heavy structure that they must follow or the accept the consequences. I would recommend developing a classroom management plan for the students during your time with them.
