Classroom Management Part 2

Handling misbehaving students is just one of the multiple ways that teachers are expected to manage a classroom. As an elementary as well as middle school student, I was exposed to many fights in the classroom. Fights are one of the extreme classroom management tasks that need to be faced. Teachers should calmly assess and then handle the situation as to ensure that no one is harmed and that things do not get more out of hand than they already are. As for highschool, fights were a big deal, but bomb threats were even bigger. Though this may be far-fetched and not an everyday situation, it is still something that has to be dealt with from time to time, and every teacher should be ready to handle the situation effectively may it be presented. Handling either of these situations cannot be done unless all students involved respect the teacher. Respect is something that must be earned. I believe that the students will not respect the teacher unless the teacher shows some sort of respect for the students. This starts by giving them the appropriate space that they need, not exceeding giving them control to do whatever it is that they want. That can lead to many different problems that may not be able to be solved positively.
