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!) I would have them sit so that they are not facing each other. Also, keep up with the punishing of bad behavior. Try to call and personally talk to the parents to let them know what is going on. The students may need to be talked to and have reinforcement of the rules in the home as well.
