As I mentioned, the "unique" behavior of some of my students with worthy of a thread in its own right, I have never seen or experience anything like it! Compared to Thai kids and Myanmar kids, the general behavior is certainly more challenging. A few examples: On the Second day of term and a co-worker is spat at- I'm not really sure if there was much of a consequence I break up several fights a week- and this is far more than just horseplay- think boys hitting girls, stamping when someone is down, biting, scratching etc. Kids think nothing of walking across the classroom to start a bout of Mongolian wrestling. Had an observation, they were impressed at how calm my class was- i.e. they didn't fight  Did have some issues with near-constant disruption in class, but class dojo seems to have mostly knocked that on the head, for now anyway. Children want attention, if they can't get it, they'll figure out a way to take it- it would seem that a lot the more challenging students haven't received much in the way of positive praise; it is taking some time to gain trust and this can sometimes be totally thankless. Got one boy who apparently spent most of the first-grade fighting, being a bit of bratty diva and doing no work at all to complete worksheets and take part in group activities; baby steps in the right direction I hope! So to teachers and parents of the BM- how did you deal with challenging behaviour of students/children? |

Personally I find staying away from both helps me deal with their behaviour as i have absolutely no patience, in a classroom i would be bouncing the little fkers off the walls if they didnt behave.. I have had ocassion in my career to lecture and so seminars etc, and even with adults, if they start "misbehaving" during those sessions, i have absolutely no filter or tolerance, stop what i am talking about and basically tell them, if you dont want be be here, then <duck> off out the room as your being exceptionally rude.....embarrass 1 or 2 like this and the rest will tow the line... I think back to what i was like at school...i was a little shit for certain, not in a nasty way... |

I remember 8th grade where a Music teacher said: "If you do not like it you can leave" we all did. |

I guess for me it would depend on how they are challenging. If they are bright kids who are challenging from that positive direction, I'd really enjoy that. If it's a challenge from kids who are just a pain in the arse, that could be rewarding and enjoyable helping them develop and get them on a better track that could be rewarding and enjoyable too. Modelling positive behaviour, catching them doing things right and praising them, laying clear expectations, taking a personal interest etc are all longer term wins though that will take time, in contrast to positive challengers you can motivate from the start. KFC management also helps - not bringing in the food - but know me focus me care for me approach. Building trust is essential in any relationship but takes time. Their Trust in your ability, competence, intentions etc. One of the best ways of building trust is to extend it. Demonstrate your trust in them first and they will find much easier to trust you. Bottom line if they are motivated and challenging that way, it's much easier. Creating that motivation is a much longer journey if they are problem kids. Unfortunately with some it's unlikely to ever work... as a wise person on BM once said: "you can't educate pork" . So don't beat yourself up about that too much for the ones you just can't |

Try teaching a buch fn inbred wahhibis, little emperors the lot of them.
The teacher controls the classroom.
Some dickhead was giving me shoit, I told him we are moving the class upstairs.
On arrival, I told him to open the window and stand on the window ledge, if he goes to sleep again he will fallout, not my problem.
Should be mentioned, the above only works if you have a strong management behind you, if not, just pack up and go home.

Concur, avoid them like the plauge, sometimes had to step in, the best tool I ever had was one of those 100 baht suk laser pointers, straight in the eyes. |
