  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.

I agree that you would probably need another teacher or an aide for assistance. With a large amount of students acting out, they are going to walk all over you. You need to remain strict and consistent with punishing AND rewarding students. Make sure to let the students know that you will let the teacher know which students did not behave appropriately so that they will receive further punishments when the teacher returns.
