Do you believe that no amount of good instruction can come out when there is poor classroom management?

Answer 1

no. I think classroom management is a bunch on nonsense. try teaching in Korea or most of the rest of peaceful asia (not mainland China, they're spoilt brats with the one child policy.)

You'll find attentive children and teenagers, ready and waiting to learn. No need for classroom management, no need for changing topics every five minutes, just look around and make sure the kids understand and participate.

I've been in schools where you can just ask kids to read, they do it. Others, and you have to kick out at least one trouble maker every class, because without punishment the brats do nothing. And a few where you have to hold the kids by their hand.

I don't falls for the dyslexic or adhd arguments either. If the teacher knows their subject and enjoys themselves and controls their temper, and thinks about the teacher, those students are often the best behaved. It's the students who's parents are always yelling at them, they're the ones hard to control. (and if the teacher gets bored.... watch out!)

If you have good parents, teachers can concentrate on their subject. Your interest in the subject transfers to the children. If the parents are jerks, well, the children get it too.

Take bad kids away from bad parents, give them to good parents.

Answer 2

My 7th grade son thinks so.
For those kids who read the book and are self-taught, of course they can learn. but those who sit in class with an ineffective, distracted, weak teacher are doomed.
And the earlier in their school life that they have this chaotic classroom environment, the more impact it has.

Have you heard the comment that your average-Joe child growing up in poverty sitting in a kindergarten or early-grade classroom winds up not being able to recover from either one or two years of ineffective teaching. Just think about it, they sit in kindergarten, learn nothing so they stay a year behind. Actually, I think it's that their current skills also erode, so they are worse off than just not benefiting from that year's instruction, something like that. The other kids in a well-run kindergarten classroom move ahead a year. I'm going to have to look that up again. It was quite scary, the impact of a poorly-run classroom on the long-term achievement of kids growing up in poverty, who also don't have the benefit of at least an educational richer home life.

I'm in school to be a pre-K teacher. Makes me feel like goiing berserk when I substitute teach in these schools in poor neighborhoods and the kids are taught to line up quietly, but somehow reading to the kids just doesn't get the same attention, or if it does, it isn't for the 3 hours a day (trust me, there are periods here and there that can be exploited if the teacher makes that little effort) that these kids need to have any chance of discovering that READING IS A BLAST and therefore they will put forth that effort and struggle to learn to read because they love it so much. And why? Because they fell in love with reading by being read to by the only person who will do it for them, if she only will--their teacher. This emphasis on lining up against the wall and--horrors--NO TALKING IN CLASS! fills me with contempt. This is a SCHOOL, where is the learning that is supposed to be taking place??? Oh, dear, here I go again. Well, it will be my turn next year and hopefully I will have the energy to match my passion and will do some good.

Answer 3

Absolutely! If you cannot manage the classroom then students will not learn. The teach must manage the classroom and obtain student's attention in order to teach.

Answer 4

did u ever see a good classroom without a good classroom management. its impossible...good management may be through words or activities(i don't mean any harsh things). it depends on how lively can a teacher make, the subject, to the students.

Answer 5

Yes, I believe it. Equally important, however, is parental involvement in the education process. Parents should insist on good behavior from their children at all times, should oversee homework, should instill a sense of responsibility into their kids, and stress that education is the most important part of their lives.

Unfortunately, that doesn't happen enough. Any child that is disruptive in the classroom is disruptive out of it. They have not had any parental control and are not corrected for bad behavior.

Answer 6

yes because all teachers do not know how to coney their subjects to their students they may be good at that subject but not a good communicator
