They let the students get away with a lot, like playing on their phone, sitting on the floor and refusing to work, and talking back. It makes any kind of lesson almost impossible. This teacher has seniority over me, and has been here for quite some time. How should I approach this? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would bring up the issue of student behavior to the teacher and see if you guys can work together to find solutions to the issues. I would make sure to state what I think should be done about the issue and take some form of notes about what was discussed/agreed to at this meeting. If the teacher continues their nonchalant behavior, I would try to kindly remind them of the new guidelines we set, and talk to a higher figure if this behavior continues.
