[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What about a teacher who consistently tells her students to “shut it”?[/quote]

She probably has to say it all the time because they won’t “shut it”? These kids talk so damn much![/quote]

There are more appropriate phrases that don’t sound like shut up, such as “Let’s get quiet.” Sounds like this teacher needs a behavior management system to get the talking under control without resorting to yelling.[/quote]

Even the best teachers cannot always control talking. It is shocking how many kids have no control. [/quote]

High school teacher back again.  It’s unbelievable this year.  In several classes, I have kids having full on loud conversations while I’m trying to teach.  I have been teaching over 20 years and haven’t seen anything like it.  High school.  I stand there silently and stare.  Usually the other kids tell them to stop but on Friday I had a class who didn’t.  More started talking.  I had to go and start flicking the lights like they were in kindergarten. It went on all class.  I felt bad for the few kids trying to pay attention.  It made me want to leave at the end of the year.  I was thinking worse than damn it. [/quote]

DP. Same exact thing. I have tried flicking the lights over and over again. And when I tell them to do practice problems they sit back and talk and do nothing or work on things they have due in other classes. Two of the three periods doing this are AP classes.

This isn't the only reason but I am leaving at the end of the year. I only have three years of teaching under my belt so no big loss.[/quote]

And then they fail the test and can’t figure out why.[/quote]
