[quote=Anonymous]I was a MS Home Ec teacher. I always put my most difficult kids together. Instead of having 4-5 disruptive kids spread out across the classroom, they were all at one table. I put their table next to the best behaved kids. I could focus my attention on the disruptive kids and try to nip things in the bud before they spiraled out of control.

I also found that unlike Math or English, we were doing activities and that helped the most disruptive kids. I was usually surprised at how well the most disruptive kids would do when working on an activity. I found that most of them were good kids that just struggled with impulse control.

There was usually one butthead kid that got off on being disruptive. When placed with good kids, they would passively sit there or tremble in fear. But when the butthead kid was with other disruptive kids, they usually stood up to him (yes, it was usually boys).

PS--In MS, never put a super disruptive boy at the same table as girls (unless they are super mature, boys are stupid mentality). At that age, the girls will totally think the boy is soooo cool for being disruptive and he'll just get a major ego boost. [/quote]
