how can i get me kids at school to be good.?

Answer 1

My mom was a teacher, and she always tried to make learning fun, by games and creative activities that have to do with the lessons.

Answer 2

Get the parents involved...don't just threaten to call the parents...call them!

When I taught 6th grade, I got my class roll a week before school started and mailed out postcards to all my students letting them know how excited I was to meet them on the first day of school. Before the end of the first six weeks, I sent another postcard home telling the parents of a particular quality/characteristic of their child that added to the success of climate of our classroom.

The few times I had a discipline issue, I had the student dialed their parents at work or home and explain the phone call. This curbed negative behavior by 95% the FIRST time.

I also awarded one ice cream social per six week period (based on attendance, overall class averages and good behavior). This was a huge hit. Again...parents were involved.

I now teach college freshmen and have been in higher education since 1999, and I don't have discipline problems at this level.

I believe in being proactive...hope that helps.

Answer 3

Are you teaching? You better have a good discipline plan in place from Day 1 and FOLLOW through with all rewards and punishments. The worse thing you can do is set up this elaborate plan and then NOT follow through with it. Last, I'd also recommend that you set up group and individual rewards. Remember, punishment is one of the least effective ways to shape behavior. There are Lots of other things that work much better, especially when YOUR behavior goes from being 'assertive' to being 'aggressive'. The latter puts you in a real bad spot and is hard to erase later. Good luck.

Answer 4

I'd find out what the problem was by talking with the kids and their teacher. I also try to go on field trips so that I'll know who is who when the child talks about the people in class. Sometimes I find it's because they want attention of someone. Either yours, the teacher or someone in class. I hope that this helps.

Answer 5

confront them.

often times, kids that do bad at school have problems feeling hopeful about school. They might feel stupid or in the right terms discouraged .

I used to fail math because i felt stupid like everyone is too far ahead. Luckily, i started alll over again and now i'm super great with math.

Answer 6

Take away other things that they like and make them be good at school to get it back

Answer 7

Be funny. Make everything interesting. If all else fails, tell them if they don't shut the F*ck up, you'll either suspend them, or fail them. A few little girls may go home crying, and you may be fired, but it's be an awesome way to go!!

Answer 8

1) Show them respect. Students aren't going to show you any respect if you don't first show them that you care about them. I have taught for 6 years now and I have found that when students know you have high expectations for them, they will have high expectations for themselves.
2) Don't yell. Yelling is a sign of disrespect. We don't want students to yell at us, so we can't yell at them.
3) Be consistent. Set expectations and consequences for ALL students and make sure you are consistent with dealing with students.

Answer 9

if you are a teacher you could give them a x evertime they are bad and write it down in a report , then give them a star if they are good , and get parents to sighn off on this every week . of course if this doesn't work you should punch them in the face so hard they would have to drop their pants to chew their food

Answer 10

Implement a discipline plan and stick to it. If they know the boundaries from day 1, they'll be less likely to do anything dumb in front of you.
