I'm a 4th and 5th grade math teacher and I need some help and advice. Three of my classes are great but one of them (4th grade) is, let's just say, not so great. They don't listen, they hate working and they've made quite a reputation for themselves. On my first day, all the teachers warned me about them and when I went to the class, the girls said to me themselves that they are really bad and that no one likes them. They called themselves dumb and bad.
I need to improve their behavior and get their attention. Any ideas please? I feel like Michelle Pfieffer in Dangerous Minds except I'm a math teacher, not an English teacher so I can't use the sentence "I want to die".
Please, please, please help!
Thanks
