I have 23 kids and I have come to realize that 3 of them are the ones that take most of my time and energy to control their bad behavior. Every time that that I send them to the office (as a result of an Office Referral), when they return, they behave ok for a very short period of time, but after a short period of time, the same process starts all over again.
I try not to send them to the office because if the fail during their exams, I will fail too (since I am being measured on their grade results). Therefore, what would be your recommendation? |

| That is very tough. I have a few students that don't care what happens to them. They really don't care; many of them have been in juvenile. They will even say that they will be either dead or in jail in a couple of years. It makes it very difficult to teach and for the other students. I really don't have any suggestions though. |

| This is probably the toughest challenge for all teachers. Learning to teach effectively is hard, but you get better at it every week. Kids who hate school will always appear in your classroom, no matter how skilled you are, and in many cases, it seems like there's no creative approach that can reach such students. You can't force a child to engage or learn, but you must always try something else until an intervention of some kind eventually removes that student from your room. In most cases, that "end" is the completion of the school year. That being said, I would not want to sacrifice or noticeably diminish the quality of learning for the bulk of my class on account of one or more students who want to make it their daily objective to slow me down in teaching effectively. Assertively confronting the distraction and removing him or her from your room when necessary may become a troubling method to repeat several times, but it firmly addresses the distraction while preserving a maximum of teaching integrity for the students who are participating. |

| When you call the parents, let them know you need them to attend class with their child one day next week. If the student has a parent in there, they will behave differently and if that parent has to keep coming to "class" with their child, there will be more consequences at home because most parents have busy schedule with work. |
