  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!)
I agree with the last two posts that am aid would be a great help in this situation. The problem is that there is probably no aid available. I f was in this situation and the teachers original point system was not working for me I would abandon it and try a new system. come up with some other classroom management plan that works for you. the most important thing is that you are in charge of your classroom. Also If you feel like you cannot control the whole class then just start by cracking down on the biggest trouble makers in the class. If you can get these students somewhat under control, others will most likely fall in line. Also if you need help don't be afraid to ask for it. call an administrator in if you need to. This is not your normal classroom and it is perfectly ok if you need some help with it.
