    All kids need love and obviously some more than others, but as a teacher for nearly 20 years, most of the defiant ones, REALLY need discipline at home. They have zero consequences at home and it spills over into the school environment. I’ve rarely had a defiant student who’s parents were on the ball. Plus factor in special needs, it’s A-LOT that teachers have to manage. 😢

    There is a point where some kids need to experience a consequence of negative behaviors. When you are actively defiant people dislike you. Sometimes a behavior needs to be labeled and pointed out as something that doesn’t serve the student.

    Y’all I am done having a “talk” with students. From now on I’m having my disrespectful students write over and over, “I will not talk when my teacher is talking,” “I will have a positive attitude in class,” “I will not complain,” “I will not argue.” If they do argue or complain then I double the amount they have to do (20x, 40x, 80x, 160x). It works like a charm! Ain’t nobody likes writing this bs.

    Great advice! My issue is that I let the anger get the best of me...I don't yell or anything like that...I just feel so angry and frustrated by the uncalled for disrespectful attitudes that I just don't want to connect to these types of students...it's tough for sure because they need that positive affirmation the most (as you mentioned here). It just sucks when you plan for each lesson for hours...you try finding interesting assignments students can engage in...and when they just start being defiant or rude for the sake of being rude and defiant...it just feels like a bit of a slap in the face... especially after YOU (as the teacher) try your best to be open and vulnerable...I guess what I'm trying to ask is...how do new teachers grow a thick skin when dealing with these situations? I forget to breathe...I forget to remember that these kids...are just kids...and whether they understand or don't understand they're attitudes...it's hard to keep cool...any other new teachers out there feeling this way? Any suggestions? (By the way...working with middle schoolers)

      my personal view on this is... there is an age... id say 13 yrs...where for sure about 99 percent of individuals (so called children) are not so "children" any more, as most of them have already developed an image of the ego, at this point the base personality of each one of them already starts showing up, there are so many types of people around of diff ages, some of us are mean and rude n sm of us are naturally kind for no other reason than there being just like that (irrespective of the circumstances). if everybody is equally rich in this world u will still find people being rude just for the sake of being rude. all m saying is from this young age of 13-14yrs u can clearly see already that a certain kid is a kind human being and a certain one is simply an ass🤷🏻‍♀️, and there is NO way around it. these r humans who only move by fear. there will b a kid in ur class who wud b respectful of ur personal boundary n is just respectful when he talks to u or any other student, and then there will b a kid who is just nasty...and will not respect u and he will take ur politeness as weakness. there r just loving n non loving humans. in my view these type of negative students only "seem" to respect u when they get a scolding or when they are (rightfully so) punished. punishment does have a fair and rightful purpose in this case. punishment is wrong when its used as an excuse by evil people, otherwise it was invented for these type of rude students. they have to be punished, why? becoz when theyre out f the school in the money making shit professional world, evry single person whom they deal with, is not bound by the nonsensical school rules of no punishment and no scolding or hitting these kind of students.
      these very nasty kids face consequences of their ugly behaviour when they r at home, or playing with other kids, in the neighbor or any other place EXCEPT IN SCHOOL! what are teachers? their punching bags? their own parents would rage at them 100 percent if u seek to find out, but not you r not allowed? kids have to know that there are consequences of actions in the world and in school too, becoz every other person does have an ego image, just like they have... and every ugly action gets an ugly reaction out there.

    I'm a substitute teacher and struggle with this big time. I am often teaching young children, classes of 25-30 kids, no support, no EAs. The first grade class I had this week had several aggressive, violent kids. It was absolute chaos. I tried every trick in the bag. Nothing worked. Finally I put on a movie and that *kind of* helped. It's tough for us substitute teachers because we don't know the students as well or their routines.

      I def noticed that some of the most difficult defiant kids I encountered had nothing in their lives to "build thier self esteem" Like not even sports. and I believe all those things can contribute to a low self esteem or self worth and that seemed to take a toll on their self esteem and therefore the way they behaved in general. even the somewhat difficult kids who had something like sports or something they could say they excelled in were a little easier to manage and I really do think it all boiled down to "self esteem" esp in boys,

      I know it's hard, but you should make it a challenge for yourself to prove that you are a intelligent person worthy of respect. If you keep feeding the world excuses and negativity, that is what you'll get back. If someone pays you a compliment, do you believe them? Or do you tell yourself that they just want to manipulate you? Cut it out - accept the compliment. People who do this can come out of the worst circumstances to become successful and happy, stable adults.

    I'm recently retired from corporate America and started my second career as a middle school teacher. I always wanted to be a teacher. I constantly heard "students are bad" but I had no idea they would be as disobedient and defiant as they are. It's only December and I'm the fourth teacher in this class. Obviously, teachers can't handle these students. I have four blocks and the first three of the day are out of control. It's not only my class, but several classes. You can hear teachers yelling all day long. Although I began the end of September, I am applying for new jobs. I will not stay beyond this year. The problems that my students have will not be resolved by stepping outside and giving compliments. Many of them have serious conditions and problems that must be treated medically or psychologically. I will not continue to subject myself to this magnitude of abuse and disrespect. The problems that I encounter will take years to resolve internally. Personally, I do not have that amount of time. As soon as I get a job offer, I'm out.

      This is a sign of the failure of the family. I'd bet money that most of these kids are from single parent homes, living with grandparents and/or the adults in the home have drug/alcohol abuse. Kids don't have the structure and security they need at home to get them in a state of mind to learn in the first place. They take out their anger and angst on teachers all day every day. Teachers don't deserve that. Adults need to start making better choices, and parents need to partner with teachers to create a consistent line of consequences and rewards.

After 30 years, all i can say is try your best to communicate with parents, establish a good working relationship with admin and guidance, try to keep from getting you upset-especially during a class, keep classes active with warm-ups, exit tickets, find teachers that work well with those students and see what they can offer-some teachers will even address the issues with them or offer advice for strategies that have worked. be consistent. Be friendly, but unflappable.

      It´s great to make rules for them. Think about rules you want them to follow. Sit with them and talk about this rules and say that this rules are for them, you want them to feel great in clasroom. After that ask them which rules they want to add, so they can feel safe and happy in clasroom. Then ask children to write rules on big paper and put this rules to class where they can see them everyday. Ask them to choose punishment for breaking rules. It will be their choice. You need to follow rules and give punishment.
      My opinion is, that child needs unconditionally love and clear rules :)
      Good luck :)

    Maya, Great way to summarize how to care for unruly students! They are truly great students, just need someone to redirect them and care for them. I have been at an elementary school for year and a half now and the children today is unlike the students we grow up with. We must take care students with tender loving care and show that we are there to guide and support them on their daily activities whether they are difficult or not. Mainly, Social and Emotional children have tendency to separate them from group of students to make great choices therefore they want to become different and be an attention seeker that is why they act out.

      But u gotta know that unfortunately not all students show respect eventually even if the teacher is nice and super respectful. So in this case a teacher should set boundaries which is called behavior management so the teachers can do their work and students learn and participate in the best condistions.

      I'm not a teacher yet, but my thinking is to still take notice of something positive you can say to each student. Like "John, good job staying focused". "Mary, I'm so proud of you completing this assignment." Find what works for each child, things that could help motivate them at different times throughout the day.
      Taking them outside to speak with them might not be feasible, so while the rest of the class is working, call the misbehaving student up to your desk and calmly have a private chat. Or maybe right at the beginning of class when they first enter the room try and connect with them in some way before the behaviors even start. These are just my ideas.
      Hoping others will chime in for more helpful ideas 😊

      You don't. In my country, there are 40 plus students in each class and having one or two children like this is enough to mess up the whole thing. I personally will never give them the extra attention simply because there are others in the class who care about their study. I will not target any student in particular because that just makes things worse. I'll give them positive comments when I can, though. If they want to be the cool kid, or the funny kid in the class, so be it. My time, effort, and dedication is better spent with others who are serious about what they want to do.

      You make time outside of the class time maybe during your planning period. Some teachers use to visit homes, but of course, CV19 has changed that. Set a Zoom call especially for them. Talk to them during their lunch hour. Have casual and genuine interactions with them that are aside from the corrections. Compliment them on their shoes, hair, creativity, etc. Find a way to connect. Hope this helps.

    Hi Maya, thanks so much for this video! I use some of these methods for students who have some behavioral issues and need discipline and coaching. I always complement kids for good behavior and set expectations for every class, and it works beautifully in all classes besides the older fifth grade. Today for example, in fifth grade music class, I wanted to teach them how to play instruments, as a music teacher, and they were just all over the place. They refused to do anything in class, and when I gave them instruments to play, telling them "you are here to learn how to create beats in order to become great musicians that I know that you can be", they tossed the instruments back at me and bombarded me with insults such as "I don't want to do music bro". And I told them that "music is fun and there are so many things you can do with instruments that you couldn't imagine but you need to follow certain school expectations and one of them is to not call your teachers names". So then they started to bombard with with "bro" and were talking about "Barak Obama" and making squicky sounds that were extremely inappropriate. I asked them "what's the matter", they told me "we just don't want to do music". So I asked them "then what do you like", and they said "dance", but I said "I can teach you a lot of body movements that can help you with music and dance at the same time but you need to follow the rules because if you don't, there will be consequences for your actions". I told them "now you guys are being very disrespecful and we need to go over the rules so that you improve you behavior and learn how to better yourselves in class". I even modelled it from the two good students who were doing the right thing. But the other five kids didn't give two cents about music and said, "no we won't write the rules down because it's stupid, it's boring, if the other two boys are doing the right thing, we don't care". I later complemented the kids who did but it took me half an hour for them to just take out a piece of paper and start writing the rules down, but I won't give up on them. Please tell me what do you think I can do to have a good class with the kids who are extremely disrespecful and want to play on their IPads all day and don't want to do their work? And if I assign them anything, they call me "bro" after each sentence even when I explain to them that that's inappropriate. Thanks.

      I know this was two years ago and likely won’t apply to your situation now, but I do want to point out that kids who disrespect you and refuse to do as they’re told because “it’s stupid” and “they don’t want to” fundamentally disagree with the notion that you should have more authority than they do. This is why they call you “bro,” to put you on equal footing with them. This frustrates you because you’re their teacher not their friend, but i think this provides insight into how they see you. You haven’t earned the respect you demand from them yet. And when you interpret “bro” as an insult, you affirm in their minds that you don’t deserve it. At the end of the day, you are the adult and the teacher, and that perception of yourself should remain steadfast whether they call you “miss/sir” or “bro” or your first name. They’re trying to get a rise out of you. You reveal insecurity in your authority by letting it get to you and that tells them that you’re not a worthy authority figure, tori just another “bro.” You’re trying to lay down the law without really putting yourself in their shoes. All kids have to go to school, and even “good” kids hate the experience. They’re told what to do, when all the time, and they feel overly micromanaged with things like having to write down rules that don’t mean anything to them. Most people like music, but not everyone likes playing it, and a lot of the time this is linked to skill level, especially in an environment with other people observing their efforts. Music is gonna be one kid’s favorite class and another’s least favourite and that’s okay. I would start by acknowledging this, and praising the very basic acts of coming to school, coming to class, choosing an instrument and then try and break down the expectations of what “good” music sounds like that way they’re free to explore it without worrying about if they’re good at it. I would get them to try and play a song they like using their chosen instrument. And most importantly, pick your battles. Don’t acknowledge it if the song they play is rude or explicit. Respond to however they feel comfortable calling you. When they do start to address you appropriately, you can begin to praise them for it. Eventually, when you’re past the point of calling you the wrong thing, just state lightly that that’s not your name so you won’t respond to it, and then call them the wrong name every time they do, so you’re put back on equal footing. They’ll find it funny at first but then they’ll either cave in, or they’ll continue doing it and it will be an inside joke between you that doesn’t actually harbour any disrespect. Don’t scold or punish them or calling you the wrong thing. Because all that tells them is they called you the right thing.

    There are two annoying students at my class, they aren't annoying all the time but sometimes they start saying words and try to be funny and they disturb the class, i tried to be calm with them, but today they got on my nerves and i got mad at them, even tho i didn't shout but i became mean and i hate that becuz when i get mad i cant focus on the lesson. But still thank you for ur tips.

    Such great and priceless advices! Thank you very much. I'm a preschool teacher, my children are 4 and 5. My problem is not the classroom itself but it's one particular child who does his very best to distract others, interrupt me through bad behaviour, very stubborn...this breaks the learning process, affects my credibility to the rest of the classroom...I'm frustrated, tried EVERYTHING, talking calmly, shouting, praising him when behaving good for 30 seconds, talkedto his mother, divorced ,who is more disoriented and unstable than he is which explains a lot! .Now I feel losing control over my whole classroom. Definitely don't want this to happen. What should I do?

    Sadly this kind of behavior is everywhere. Think twice before you get into teaching and think you want to spend all day everyday with misbehaving children. If you don’t have that bubbly do-good attitude, it will be even harder. There are too many outside factors that will always undermine your efforts…terrible music, terrible athletes, social media, bad politics, bad parenting, etc. Been at it for 20 years and the stress is real. There’s a teacher shortage all over for a reason.

      @madenewministries 5 років тому +2

      I greet my students at the door with a high five or just a hi. :) For your situation, I would just ask to speak with him, not in front of the class, and let him know you want to talk because you care, not because you want to get them in trouble. It's tough, I know. I'm at a new school and I'm trying to connect with them but they seem like built a wall. :/ Now you said he refused stepping outside? That's defiance and I'm not sure if your school has a system of writing up a student?

    to hit me 3 times with . I wish you were My Teacher when I was in elementary school because you know how to de escalate students
    and not escalate students the way that My Teachers escalated me and had to learn the hard way how to not escalate me .

    Hi Maya. I'm new to your this type of forum. I do have two questions. I had the experience of calling a student to my desk, when I subbed, and all the other kids knew he was in trouble, so they all "Ooooh"d. With the thought of not wanting to embarrass that student, how would you have handled the other student's verbal comment? BTW, he seemed to enjoy the attention and swaggered over to my desk. My second question is, when a defiant student continues to be disruptive (which he was) and after one has all ready spoken privately to this child, what does one do (what would you have done)? Thanks.

    I haven't been able to get students in the hall to address behavior due to the room set up and door type (No window and will not stay cracked open). I'm at a new school this year and will try one on one discussion. I started in the end of September and the previous orchestra teacher was established. I know they miss her but how would you address this while showing that you want to care? It is a middle school and there are other issues but right now it is a serious trust issue. Out of 5 classes, only one really has a problem. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

    I have to sadly admit that this video will not answer your questions but you can buy some milk instead. If you are here you really nead advise. Well talk to your colleagues and see how they are facing this attitude. The soft advise about positive approach doesn't work on systematic bad behavior. The video is full of positive vibes but as I sad it just confirms your first step, but doesn't solve nothing. Thats why my dear friends we have to read books, eventually big books written by German, Russian and English philosophers. Good try anyway.

    • @cillaw1080
      @cillaw1080 6 років тому

      You need to have a conference with the parents to discuss ways that they discipline their son in order to get him to do things. If they have certain methods then ask if you can use them while you are tutoring him. You basically need to know what he likes and what he doesn't like.
      You also need to make your expectations clear with the student and the parents and keep it consistent. If the student is not meeting your expectations then make note of it and provide the information to the parents. At this point, it is the parents' responsibility to discipline the child. You are the tutor. Your job should not be to focus on behavior management.

Could you just elaborate on that a little more? Because I’m looking back and I do realize that I do call out kids who have been naughty if they’re talking too loud or if they’re not sitting like they’re supposed to.
