  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!)
As a new teacher this year, I would want someone to come up to me in private and just tell me. I would welcome any advice that another teacher has. It is hard enough as new teacher to figure everything else out. You could guide and give examples of how it should be handled. Then, I would check in on that teacher a few days later and see how things are going.

Comments: This solution is a great idea, because it is true new teachers are open to constructive criticisms. After all this is how we all learn is grow through trial and error. I would suggest that teachers do not constantly walk up to "newbie" with what they are doing wrong, they need to also make sure to compliment what they are doing right.
