Who Holds The Power In Your Classroom?

Sometime in classrooms you might have some students who disrupt classroom lessons and activities. They may disrupt class by having random outbursts, distracting other students from learning, and maybe even destroying classroom property. Situations like this are very delicate to continue the flow and positivity of your classroom. Never let your students she you frustrated by the situation or make your mood come off as you can't handle one student.

 “I hate you, and I hate this school!”

This isn't the reaction educators are looking for in the middle of class. But disruptive and confrontational students are sometimes an unavoidable challenge. If handled poorly, these confrontations can lead to power struggles -- and more disruptions.

So what do you do in this type of situation? Do you you argue back and forth or do you just diffuse the situation? The reason why I wrote this is because there are a lot of students who are written up here and there and thrown into the discipline system because a teacher is incapable of making a breakthrough to that child or even attempt to. Some give up on students like that at the drop of a hat because that don't feel like dealing with it. What some instructors fail to realize is that sometimes negative behavior can spread like wild-fire, and can affect the other students in your classroom.

Your job is to create a safe learning environment for your students, and if that is ever threaten you need the PROPER tools to address the situation.
