Question

how to tell to my class to discipline their manners??? i've tried so many times but..... it cannot solve my problem....please help me!!!!

Answer 1

Well, you have not provided much information. It is difficult to answer without knowing how old the students are. I also don't know which manners you are talking about. Do you mean basic politeness in class or are you teaching formal manners?

For class manners, you must make clear what you expect from them. For instance, they must raise their hands and wait until they are called on to answer questions, not shout out the answer. For these type of classroom manners, you must insist on them performing them and be prepared to deal with the rule-breakers. If a student shouts out an answer without being called on, he will get no credit and you will ask another student the same question.

Praise when it is done right, correct when it is done wrong.

If there is a problem child, I would take him aside after class when no one is around. Since children who shout out are often seeking attention, I would tell him that I think he is very smart and I really like him but ask why he is disrespecting you by not following the rules? By praising him first and telling him you like him, he will feel ashamed that he disrespected you. Then ask him to help you enforce the rules by being a good example to the others. It is a good way to put an unruly student on your side. It often works!

Answer 2

You have to be specific. I'm not sure what grade you teach, but I've seen high school students who honestly did not know that they were being rude until I explained what about their behavior was rude.

Focusing on the reasons instead of just the behavior can help the students to regulate themselves. Simply telling them to stop doesn't work. Make them care and want to stop.

Good luck. Remember, you are in charge! If you need to write people up or assign detention yourself, do it. If there are no consequences, there is not much incentive to change.

Answer 3

You sound like first year teacher. You just have to be consistent, and on top of things constantly. It is a lot of trial and error. Your first year is tough, and class management is most important. Good luck.
