  Case: Small Group Issues
I work with a small group of students everyday. These students on their own are not too problematic, but together can be very challenging. Due to my obligations and feelings of my CT, I must keep the group as it is. They are constantly off-task during my instruction, making rude comments to each other, etc. I have tried both offering rewards for good behavior and the appropriate punishments for not behaving (I've done both a phone call home and given a few lunch detentions) What would you suggest to help correct their behavior?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Is there any possible movement in the group? If possible, I would try to change the group of students you are working with. Maybe it is the group of students in particular.

Comments: I don't agree with any part of this solution because classroom/behavior management is a priority if teaching is to take place. Changing the students is seldom a possibility or solution.
