They are constantly playing games on their laptops or phones, playing music, and not listening to the teacher at all. If she asks them to stop or move seats, they simply ignore her or talk back and she does not punish them for their disrespectful attitude towards her. It is very frustrating to see the way she is treated. Is there anything I can do? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I agree that a behavioral plan may need to be made. I think enforcing more rules, not necessarily more discipline but structure to the class could give it some manners towards the teacher. I think the first step is to speak up the teacher to show her how you feel on this.
