Few behaviors are more infuriating to teachers than back talk. Having a student tell you "I don't have to do what you say," or "You don't know how to teach," can try anyone's patience, and strain even the calmest teacher's temper. A student who speaks to her teacher in a disrespectful manner, moreover, makes it difficult for the teacher to conduct his lesson, and undermines his authority in the eyes of the other students. The disrespect becomes a much more serious problem if other students begin to emulate the behavior of the student who talks back.
If you have a student who talks back to you, it's important to bear in mind that her insolent comments often are unrelated to anything you've said or done. In some cases, she might be venting frustration about other events in her life; you just serve as a convenient outlet for her distress. Keeping your composure in the face of a verbal assault isn't easy, but it is the most effective reaction in the long run. Scolding the student, or threatening or lecturing her, might only give her what she wants and make her more likely to repeat the disrespectful behavior.

My Geometry teacher, Mr. Colson, is the teacher that I disrespect, but not on purpose. My mean comments aren't meant to hurt or destroy him but it's how I feel at the moment. Mr. Colson doesn't bear with me when it comes to my work. For example, when I take notes in his class, it doesn't make sense. So, I decide to take my own notes on my own time. Every six weeks we have a notes quiz. I fail miserably because of his note taking technique but he has to understand that's the only way I can learn the lesson if I take it the way I can understand. My repetitive disrespectful behavior often crash heads with Mr. Colson. This is a mistake I do on a daily
George disrupts the class by conversing with other and not raising his hand. This behavior is prominent form the beginning of the day to the end. He constantly disrupts the class by shouting out at inappropriate times. This lack of self-control causes a halt in the lesson. The teacher typically relies on the classroom aide to resolve the issue, but his behavior is only corrected for five minutes. If George doesn’t have a 1:1 approach, he is unable to complete any of his work and inevitably gets himself into
As described by Rose, in his vocational track, students were constantly yelled at, for example the P.E teacher, in some cases it relates to the lesson that the syst...
Though taking immediate action is thought to be the only way to help, other methods can be used to make a difference. For example, I could report the issue of bullying to a person in an authoritative role, such as a counselor, professor, or administrator. These individuals have been trained to handle situations such as this, and most likely have more information about the students involved. Choosing this method would ensure that the conflict is resolved professionally. Another method would be to focus on the person being attacked. The effect that kindness can have on hurting people is remarkable. Befriending the individual would enhance my ability to stand up for him or her in the
She would be able to confront the situation by herself or with the help of guidance counselors. In a future classroom, I would contact my administrator and/or school guidance counselors. Together the appropriate individuals can confront the bully as well as get the parents involved to remedy the situation. When faced with a direct confrontation with a bully, I must never react emotionally toward the situation. Most importantly, I/we must deal with the bully appropriately, but the victim needs assistance too. It is my job to advise the victim to do everything in their power to avoid the bully, tell an adult when they are victimized, stay in a group of friends, don’t react emotionally, and etc. As well as addressing the bully and victim, I must ensure that my students understand that being a bystander is just as bad as being a bully. My students will understand they must report intimidating behavior, let the bully know their behavior is not cool, be a friend, and that no matter who you are anyone can become a victim of
This particular class period consisted of around 3 students, but one student was working particularly just by himself with his teachers aid. Even before it started Ms.Metcalf classroom energy felt a bit off, and come to find out that during lunch one of the students had been teasing the other student. The student that had also been causing trouble had out of nowhere stolen paper clips off of Ms.Metcalf. The other student was not able to stay on task, because he still felt upset from the incident that occurred during lunch. This soon became more of a discipline class rather than the student learning about math, and apparently the "bully" had created pointer with the paper clips that could have actually hurt someone. Soon after Ms. Metcalf had to call the assistant principles to step in to discipline the student, and lost a entire day of instructions due to one student misbehavior. After the misbehaving student had left she went over to the emotional distraught student and began discussing that he should never let people 's words if they weren 't nice and that entire lesson became a lesson on
This behavior is seen as disrespectful and can be a struggle for the student. To make this student more comfortable in the classroom the teacher should get to know the child by asking questions and listening for a response rather than physically looking for one (Ormrod, 2011 pg. 109). This could avoid any uncomfortable feelings due to what is called a cultural
Gift Gugu Mona once said, “A powerful woman is a heat-resistant and storm-proof calibre. There is nothing she cannot handle.” Throughout history, women have been treated as second-class citizens, as they were expected to be homemakers, caring mothers, and obedient wives to their husbands. They were seen as “good wives” if they did everything and anything their husbands asked them to do. Despite all of the expectations, women have defied the odds, done exceptional things, and lived fascinating lives.
However, a child who refuses to cooperate or participate in class discussion is learning. If the teacher reacts by yelling or attempting to force the student, the child is learning by gaining attention or control of the classroom through their behavior.
When they admitted to the teacher why didn't understand something, the students that did understand would laugh, and mimic them. I literally watched them belittle a persons character. They made them feel less of a person. Those attitudes and actions from the students made the other students feel like they were stupid or dumb. All because they didn't catch on right away or as quickly as them.
As a teacher language is the most important tool in order to support student learning. The book Elementary Classroom Management by Kerry Williams discusses how language is an important tool to use “language can be a powerful vehicle for activating thought, and as teachers we need to be aware of the role it is playing” (ref pg. 196). The use of words and tone that the teacher uses to the students is significant in the behaviour of students. For example if a student is displaying
There must be something triggering this type of disruptive behaviour, their dignity and self-value must be suffering to be acting in such a manner. Students realise their dignity in the relationships they form with their fellow peers and teachers. If a relationship is formed on the basis of destructive and negative behaviour from the disruptive child and tension from the teacher the dignity of the remaining students will be affected and their learning may be negatively influenced. Disruptive children in the classroom don’t allow for overall moral worthiness as there is a constant negative learning environment. The dignity of the teacher also suffers as they are having to deal with high stress situations and disappointment on a daily basis.
If students misbehave in class or lose their temper teacher calls principle to deals with it and handle it. They don’t bother their selves to know what kid problems is. Because I believe students misbehave and lose their temper when they have something going with their lives as in Freedom Writer all kids were related to gangs. They didn’t have an adult who could teach them about manners, and behavior. Nobody
Respectful of them, their opinions, and their standpoints. I have witnessed first-hand how hard it is to agree with someone who shows no respect for you and vice versa. It happens everywhere, and I have learned that as a future teacher, that respect is vital. In order for my students to learn, and actively engage in my classes, I need to prove to them that I respect them as a person. I have seen that in class where some students have little to no respect for their peers. In addition, I have also experienced that. There was one instance where me and a few other girls were targeted for voicing our opinions on an issue. We were told by another student that we were wrong. It seemed that he refused to actually listen to us and let it settle with him. As a result of this, he got no cooperation from us. We had basically shut down. We felt vulnerable and refused to say anything for a little while being scared that he would make us feel belittled yet again. With that being said, I know now that it is not only important, but essential to show respect to anyone and everyone, and also that you receive it in

To help students up the ladder, school indirectly teaches its students about respect. Although not found on the pages of any text book, learning lessons in respect can be very helpful. The idea of respect starts with teachers and often branches to the development of peer and self respect. Everyone has experienced a teacher that they couldn't stand and dreaded going to that class. It was times like that which challenged the respect that had begun to develop. In eight grade, my english teacher was one of the mose mean people I have ever met. I got a 0 on a quiz because I spelled one word wrong (it was not a spelling quiz). I hated going to her class, half the time, I just wanted to scream at her.
