  Case: Teacher not in control
I have subbed in a class for one week and it was hard for me to gain control of the class. 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!)
Environments like that should include a teacher's aide. I didn't see a specified amount of students, but I can imagine there would be a handful. With a high student to teacher ratio, and you not being their original instructor, ask the administrator if there are any available paraprofessionals to help.
