  Case: Students of Poverty
A new teacher at Mr. Roberts school is having a hard time earning the respect of his students. 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!)
Before new teachers are allowed to be in class. They should be reevaluated in the condition and environment they may not expect. It's best to see how the new teacher reacts in terms of time, and only consider action when education isn't prevalent.

Comments: This is not useful, because teachers need to be in classrooms to learn not only how to teach, but how to respond when there is a new situation apparent. After all, one learns through trial and errors, no one is going to be perfect or capable of being perfected for the classroom. Instead, an idea could be assigning new teachers with a mentor who can help them through their first few years of teaching and even throughout their career.

Comments: This is the worst response because as teachers we will all face challenges throughout our career. It will take a few weeks for the teacher to build a healthy relationship with the students. However, you can't judge a teacher's ability to be a good teacher based on an experience that he/she has never had before.
