Disrespectful Classroom Behavior

Recently, I witnessed a pupil at my setting using inappropriate language during a music lesson, where the class teacher was not present. I took the pupil to one side and bent to their level. I informed the pupil that the language they had used was both inappropriate and unacceptable. I told the pupil that I would be informing the class teacher of the incident and that should it happen again, I would be sending them straight to the head teacher’s office. Another child had overheard the inappropriate language and copied it. I took the same action with the second child, and then separated them, moving one child to the other side of the classroom. After the music lesson, I informed the class teacher of both incidents, who thanked me for my input and said that the pupils would need to be closely monitored for the rest of the day.

It is important for a teacher to challenge disruptive behaviour immediately and consistently. I feel by trying to make lessons enjoyable and providing work that helps students to achieve minimizes disruptive behaviour. The use of good communication by the teacher can also be a useful tool. This includes the use of the voice, phrasing, eye contact and body language. For example, using an assertive tone when making a request or physically positioning yourself near disruptive students.

Once he is in pre-school/Jr school he may become disruptive within the classroom, and may demonstrate aggressive behaviour towards other children. If tasks are seemed to be too hard or if he doesn’t understand task’s which have been set he many become frustrated, emotional, or angry. This may cause him not to engage in tasks and fall behind. Making friends may become more difficult as he seen to be a naughty child and this will have a knock-on effect with his self-esteem and may isolate himself from his

As a teacher, I would try to keep the classroom as fair and up to code as possible. One of the legislation’s I was sort of uneasy about was the Keefe v. Geanakos, where a teacher was fired for the continuous use to a derogatory word. After reading the short description of the case, I did research and found that the word used was an extremely disrespectful word. “Motherf**ker” was the word. As an adult, the word is one that I would not even use in my household let alone expect to hear out of an educator’s mouth. While a curse word may slip out here and there, it is completely not up to a teacher to decide what demeaning words should be used and not used. As a parent, I would be completely enraged.

I plan to establish discipline by warning those students who misbehave at first giving them two chances to act appropriately. If a student still misbehaves, I will cut their privilege to go outside down by five or ten minutes according to the severity of their inappropriate behavior. If a child still misbehaves, I will take the issue to

A teacher must deal with disruptive classroom behavior throughout their career. To do so, they must not only develop their skills in handling these situations but also develop ethical standards for their classroom. These standards set forth by the teacher will help them deal with their students, those students’ parents, the school administrators and their community. There are numerous articles written that could help a teacher when researching any legal or ethical issues that may arise during their teaching career. This paper summarizes four

students. She sets out to learn how to effectively teach and provide an interesting, stimulating,

Students will always display disruptive behaviors in classrooms. Sometimes one teacher is responsible for twenty-five students, so disruptive behaviors will surely happen. I think what is important is how educators handle these situations. Some common disruptive behaviors for a third grade classroom are calling-out, talking, breaking the classroom rules, talking-back, not focusing on the lesson, yelling, and staying seated. The key to managing disruptive situations and maximizing learning in a third grade classroom is good classroom management. Being an effective classroom manager is the most important role for a teacher, and with good classroom management, a teacher can stop the disruptive behaviors from continuing. Classroom management is difficult for early teachers. If students are not following rules and procedures, the classroom can

This observation was done on a Friday. At the beginning of the day, before the class even started, Mr. Taylor shared with everyone that he was putting his foot down and anyone acting out was going to get a referral due to it being Friday. He did not clarify as to whether this was a referral to the office or for detention. This was contradictory to previous observations of how poor behaviors were handled by this teacher. On this day, the class had the same three individuals in charge as it did in Mr. Taylor’s writing class on March 9, 2016. One student was not on task and had been disruptive. The teacher asked him to stop doing what he was doing fewer times than he had for the student calling him a loser two days prior. The student was promptly

One behavioral issue that can be observed in schools is disrespect. Being respectful means that you show others you care about their feelings and well-being. Whereas, disrespectful behavior shows little regard for the feelings of others. Disrespect towards teachers specifically, can present as disruptive and confrontational behavior (McNeely, 2017). For example, a student displaying disrespectful behavior may say that they do not care about the lesson, or say that their teacher is stupid.

In a classroom you should always be in your seat quietly unless a teacher says otherwise. You should not talk without permission because that is disrespectful to teachers and to other students. It is very important that you are on your best behavior in your classroom so that you and your classmates get all of the education you can so you can be successful and go to college. When you are misbehaving in class it tends to annoy your other classmates because they are trying to pay attention to what the teacher is saying. If you were on the same page as them you would want everyone to be quite to so you can hear and understand what your teacher is trying to teach. Class periods are not that long therefore our teacher only has a certain amount of time to get their lesson in for that class period and when someone isn't paying attention and causing a distraction by misbehaving it causes the students that are trying to pay attention to possibly miss out on what the teacher is trying to teach us. You always want to be on your best behavior so you can hear what you teacher is saying. Maybe your teacher is saying something important like instructions to your worksheet, not all teachers will repeat so you might have to fin for yourself. The others around you may not always know what to do either. Maybe because you were talking and they couldn't hear the teacher or maybe it their fault for not pay attention as well. You always wanna be the one helping other not other helping you.

If you do that again, you will be in big trouble! This is an exclamation that is heard all around the world, in many different languages. It is heard in houses, schools, play groups, and many other places. It is said by parents and teachers alike. The problem with that phrase is the consequence. Alfie Kohn and Forrest Gathercoal are two experts in classroom management. They both believe that traditional management styles and disciplinary techniques need some adjustments. One can gather from reading both Kohn’s and Gathercoal’s works that there is quite a large amount of sense behind that and schools really should reexamine these practices.

Just as hills have been eroded by rain, teachers have become hardened to crude language insomuch that they have begun to accept it as part of the culture in present society, and in their classrooms. However, at the same time that teachers turn a blind eye to cursing, board educators expect students to uphold appropriate language standards at school because the students are preparing to work effectively with others in a business environment where obscene language is neither appropriate nor acceptable. A possible length that should be required of English courses in

I was initially very quiet and reserved from the situation as I didn’t know what behaviour strategy to use and how I could have calmed him down. I believed the teacher had the responsibility to dictate what happened and therefore didn’t say anything. I felt shocked and angry when he first started shouting and calling EM horrible names. He was disrespecting one of our classroom golden rules which was ‘we don’t hurt anybody’ ’. We use Golden rules as they help to reflect the values and ethics supported by school (English and Newton, 2013). Jenny Mosley (1998) devised a set of Golden rules which are used throughout primary school and we also adapted her positive strategy in school. These rules are used to show children which behaviour should and should not be avoided.
