5 tips to help you handle disruptive studen
ts
tsThe amazing teacher Louanne Johnson gave us 5 tips to deal with restless kids. And now we'll give it to you.
1- Intimidate them: If a student gets violent or is about to, be a little intimidating, threat him/her with a kick in his private areas, call security or even say you will kill them (was she being serious??). Don't be afraid of being aggressive, sometimes the situation requires it.
2- Ask for help: Ask other teachers for their opinion, talk to the school counselor, talk to their parents...everything you think it's necessary to know more about the problematic students and find a solution.
3- Give them a goal: Sometimes, these students have nothing to fight for. Motivate them to be better by showing them that they can go to college, a class for advance students and so forth.
4- Be nice: You can use intimidation but you have to be nice as well. Give them your support, trust, respect and help because most of them do not have anyone to be there for them when they need it.
5- Give up: This is the harder thing to say when you want to be a good teacher, but sometimes it is necessary to admit defeat and recognize that not everything is in your hands. There will always be students you cannot help, but feel better each time you see the face of a student who is having a brighter future thanks to your effort.

ReplyDeleteI do not think intimidate students is a good tip, but it shows you read the book XD
ReplyDeleteFor me, it is hard to compare Miss Johnson's reality with ours. Schools are not the same at all neither children!
I think I will never teach out of Chile, I do not want to know more realities! :p
(What a coward I am!)
I really loved your magazine section. It was creative, original and the picture was awesome!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
I really liked your mag section!
ReplyDeleteAccording to my experince, i agreed with the first tip, because in my work experience i had been with problematic teenagers, some of them with drugs in their brains... i mean, they couldn't control themselves.. so you have to be a little bit tough with them, but nice at the same time.... as we say in spanish "rayar la cancha" xD
take care!
super-duper!
ReplyDeleteuseful tips..truly
xoxo

ReplyDeleteI like tip number 3. I think that If our students couls have a goal. they would do much better at school.
