Case: Risking relationships for the sake of order
As a white woman, it take takes a while for some minority students to buy in to the mutual trust/respect needed in class. It has taken first semester to establish a trusting relationship with a group of African American girls in my 11th grade class. Now, we have a really great relationship, however, it seems like they are a bit too relaxed with me. They have a tendency to talk to each other at inappropriate times and often are distracting to others because of this. I've been very patient and have lightheartedly asked them to "bring it back in, girls", etc. to no avail. I have been wrestling with changing their seating arrangement to separate them all. They will be very angry about this. Do I risk it for the sake of order in the class or do I seek an alternative?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I've have this issue with my students because I am so young, but what I've found helpful is having a conversation and letting them know your issues. Express to them how you have built this teacher-student relationship with them, so you expect them to respect your authority as you respect them as students, so when you ask something of them, you expect it to happen. If they cannot handle this, then you will be forced to move their seat. If they choose to act out after this, then involve parents and administration because you have to maintain order of your classroom for your students to learn. |

| Comments: I agree that communication is key in this situation, especially since we are talking about 11th grade students. Making them aware of the consequences to their actions is important. Following through with these if there is no solution after the communication is equally as important. |

| Comments: I think this is the best solution and would do the same. You make it the student's choice on whether their seating changes by setting guidelines and clarifying consequence. |
