teachers have to shout a lot to control their class, this get the impact on their family, how to correct this?

well, the teacher has to take a step back and decide.  is the job affecting them to the point that their family suffers?  And is it worth it?

You need to understand that the more you defy authority, the closer eye the teacher will have on you.  If you stop drawing attention to yourself and behave yourself in your class, it could get better, but once you are on someone's bad side, it's tough to change.  You're making it out like he's just got a dislike for you, but you need to understand that teachers have 5-7 classes a day with 20-30 kids in them.  They cannot allow kids to just be smart a**** or it will just distract the entire class & they lose precious time with those who want to learn.  Try paying attention, answering questions, stop talking to your girlfriend... you can hang with her at lunch or afterwards.  This is soooo important, adults just can't explain how important it is to do your best now for your own future.  Good luck sweety :)

You might consider talking with her and sharing your concerns. If you aren't satisfied with the way it went, you could ask for some help by getting someone to mediate. \n\nIf all else fails, you might want to take on the approach that its her duty as a teacher to teach and yours as a student to learn. We can't always get along with everyone, even as adults. And sometimes all we can do is try to get through uncomfortable situations that aren't in our control to change.\n\nI do commend you on taking responsibility for your own actions. Kudos for you :)

Get the whole class to gang up on the losers who are talking. It worked in my class. Everyone was so mad at these two guys who that they were all cool and never shut up. so all 30 of us just turned to them in class one day and geve them nasty looks and yelled..(we really yelled) for them to shut up. They found out that they were not that cool and finaly shut up the rest of the year. \nGet numbers on your side and let them know that the class is not backing them up in talking.

A good teacher will seek additional help for the child as well as work as many interventions into the classroom as possible.  Discussions with parents and other school staff would also be happening.   Also, talk with the student, sometimes knowing you have someone trust worthy to talk to can help a lot!

I'm a teacher of 13 years experience.  I have taught most of my time in junior high (where I still am), but I've also taught high school and college.  I hope I have some guidelines that help.  Remember there is nothing like experience in education.  For all the advice you'll get, you just have to do trial-and-error until you find what works for you.  Everyone has his/her own style of discipline and motivation.  So, in no particular order, a list of problems and solutions:\n\n1) Tell the student to spit out gum, and don't make a big deal of it.  This is a minor offense.  If there is eating and drinking going on, emphasize that this is not the time or the place.  In a junior high school, a second offense gets paper pick up, where students have to go around during break time and pick up papers and tidy the campus.  For a college class, I'd recommend dismissing the student from class early if it's continual and passive-aggressive, having a talk with the dean.  Or if this is a college class, make clear, specific rules for bringing food to class and make your expectations clear about how to dispose of it.\n\n2) For excess talking, move the students around.  Say that you will not talk while they are talking, and they need to listen as a courtesy to you and the learning community.  Keep "playing chess" with them and bouncing them around the classroom.  You must back up what you say with consequences, too.  You cannot just ask someone to stop, then tell them to stop, and keep telling them.  The third time, there needs to be a consequence, not only because some people are inconsiderate and insensitive, but because there are others who are passive-aggressively hostile and need other people to set boundaries for them because they won't do it for themselves.  Remember sometimes you just have to stop talking altogether.  The withering glare (or my favorite, "The Gorgon") is particularly effective and also always gets a laugh.  Never shout over them.  I often speak my first sentence a bit louder than I need to, then immediately soften my voice so they have to strain just a bit to hear.  \n\n3) For verbal defiance in the classroom, I stare directly at the student, lean over, and say, "Excuse me?" and keep staring.  This usually gets an immediate apology and a quick re-statement.  If the student continues to be defiant, inform him or her that you are not going to put up with the obnoxiousness and rudeness, and immediately send the person to another classroom or an early dismissal if a college student.  Then you MUST follow up, whether with detention, a phone call home, a visit home, a talk with the dean of discipline.  This is three-fold: not only are you not letting yourself be a target, but you are also letting the student know that a boundary has been violated, and you're letting the class know indirectly that you have the authority to discipline and keep order and control.  \n\n4) Keep your students so busy that they do not have time to turn around and talk or cause problems.  Give them interesting, engaging, mind-expanding work to do so that they get caught up in their work and won't want to make problems, because they are enjoying what they do.  Of course, making work interesting and enjoyable takes years of practice, tinkering and imagination, and it takes empathy with your class, its age, and your objectives.  Anyone can learn how to keep order in a classroom, but the art of teaching comes from entertaining and opening up the mind so that people want to learn and want to come to class.\n\n5) Sit needy students near you, as well as students who ask a lot of questions.  They get their questions answered quickly and easily, and the classroom isn't disrupted (as often).  Often simply sitting close to the teacher may result in fewer questions; they may simply want attention or need to be close to an authority figure to feel safe and get the attention that they want.\n\n6)

That is very rude and surely causes the kid alot of pain. The teacher should be dealt with by her superiors. She should know better. You might try becomming this kid's friend. He could probably use one that's understanding and kind. If someone starts taking his side that person may get some flack but the best part is knowing you're doing the right thing for the right reason. Good luck.

NEWS FLASH: Not every teacher is going to smother you with sweetness. During my long stay overseas, I had more than my share of meanness from teachers who resented having "this American" come up in their class and be all "foreign". My daring to even ask or ,God  forbid, answer questions was enough to provoke accusations of "being a showoff" and all sorts of petty meannesses. I survived, but with a lifelong contempt for the kind of folks who wallow in pettiness and envy. You'd think an adult would have the sense to treat a child better,but that's life. \n\nIn fairness to the teacher,it was not "harsh" of her to want to be able to place your abilities by expecting you to write a placement test. Instructing you to return to your seat is not an insult by any means - how about being the only pupil  in a class of 25 who was made to stand on a desk if you happened to get an answer wrong? how about having someone mimic your accent every time you spoke up in class,even when they were the one who called upon you to speak in the first instance?\n\nSome people have "issues". You might want to have the calmer one (!) of your parents speak with the Principal of the school about having you change Math instructors since the present one apparently is triggered by something about you. And whether or not you do succeed in changing instructors, by all means be scrupulously polite and respectful to this woman.  She may not deserve it in your opinion, but you will simply have to deal with this with some maturity. Her actions can only be highlighted by anyone with a speck of powers of observation when they contrast your ladylike behavior with her surliness.\n\nYou are supposed to ask questions,because that is what you do in a school. If "she doesn't have time" for your questions,the Principal should be - very politely - appraised of this  unacceptable situation.\n\nAbove all,don't be a wimp! Fainting because someone spoke to you in a tone you didn't like? Then I've got to say , it's great job you weren't in my shoes, you'd have ended up in a blooming coma. You can stand up for yourself politely. But if you worry that openly complaining will only provoke worse you may simply revel in the fact that you are superior to this sort of behavior, as long as you maintain a calm demeanor. She may be a rude jerk,but don't let her provoke you into copying her example.\n\nOne powerful tool at your disposal in such a tense environment is to be the most angelic person in town with all your other instructors.When she comes up with any negative tales in the teacher's lounge about you(and this person will have some very lively opinions to air about you there, trust me),it may very well be the only saving grace for you if other teachers simply don't have any reason to take her word for it in your case. And one other helpful thing that did the trick for me in junior high was to seek the counsel and arbitration of another teacher who was well disposed towards me. It gave me the responsibility of making sure that that I didn't let the intervening staff member down by letting the antagonist under my skin and finally lashing back at her, and it made the antagoniser aware that her peers were alert to her treatment of me. So getting an ally on staff may be just the thing for you.\n\nIn parting ,keep to the high road at all times and be the best at what you do. Always make sure that no one has cause to put you down.\nKEEP IT REAL, AND DON'T BE A SOFTIE :-) .\nTOUGHEN UP AND WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD!!!

Talk to someone at your school, like a counsellor, who can put forward to the teachers that you feel this way.\n\nAs a teacher I appreciate knowing about my students and try to find ways around the hurdles put up to stop them learning.

I also teach middle school and was having some problems at the beginning of this year.  I had some loud mouthed boys who forced me to be a b*tch to keep control of the class.  As a result I felt that my relationship with the "good" students was suffering.  What I did to fix this was create an incentive.  Since my problems were mainly behavior problems, I created a game called "Hot Shots".  Everyday the class worked as a team to earn points for good behavior (ex. staying quiet in transistion times, doing things the first time they're asked, keeping their mouths shut when I'm talking,etc....essentially, what they should be doing anyway)  Everytime they did something good I put a point on the board.  When they started to become obnoxious or not do what was asked of them I'd take a point away.  I also hung a Nerf basketball hoop over the door in my room.  For the last five minutes of every class I drew names out of a container and that student got to go the back of the room and shoot a hoop.  If they made it I gave them another point.  One student got to shoot for every behavior point they had earned that day.  We had a big score board on the side of my classroom where I kept track of all my classes scores as well as a count down of how many days were left of the game (we started with 30 school days...that was too long, i recommend 15-20 days) at the end of those 30 days the class with the highest score won an icecream party.  We also started off the whole game by talking about our class as a basketball team (since most 8th graders can relate to basketball).  We talked about how everyone has to play a part and work their hardest for the team to be successful.  The phrase "We win as a team, we lose as a team" became our class motto.  And we also dicussed that just like with a basketball team, we need a coach, and for the time that they are in my room, I am the "coach", so I call the shots.  It has made an amazing improvement in the room.  The kids hold each other accountable because they don't want to lose to another team, they listen to and respect me more, and my rapport with them has improved tremendously.  It gives us something common other than "school stuff" to get excited about together, which allows them to open up to me about additional things.  Maybe something like this would work for you.  Good luck

You can get example from my history teacher. He tried to joke us and says funny things about us. He always talk interesting stories about the ancient world during the lessons. And he uses a mindmap to explain the lessons better. When the class become noisy, he usually makes us quiet. Sometimes he shouted or give us a break. My class is really obedient, he would only give us permission to move around but not too much noise.Try your lessons to be active and funny and interesting. Just because he is a good teacher, we still haven't forgotten him. But don't let your class to take this oppotunity to get noisy. One thing is my teacher never scolds people without a valid reason. Instead, he tried to joke so that the class is more active and more attentive and enjoy the lesson.\n\nTry this way. Wish you all the best and good luck.

while I can not quote a theorist - they live in La la land - having not stepped a foot in a REAL classroom...but I know from teaching in special education...\n\nDo not yell!\nuse positive reinforcement techniques...like "I caught you being good (being smart, being kind, being well behaved...) then chart that on the chalk board - so other kids can see.\n\nmaybe reward the few kids that respond to this with a frozen Popsicle or fudge bar

My son's first experience in school in Kindergarten got him one of those teachers.  We butted heads all the time.  She labeled him a trouble maker because he didn't stay on task and wanted to move faster than the class did.  I told her that she was wrong so I was the demanding parent.\n\nTeachers come in all types and some are just not good or have worn out their welcome.  Some fear change.  Some are threatened easily and when there is a smart student they feel it and react badly.\n\nIf there is an issue that she is wrong about (or any teacher in the future too) bring in proof that you are right in writing.  I did and, yes it made my teacher MAD, but the other students then started to question her and she was forced to prove herself the rest of the way through.  You may not be the favorite in class with that teacher but you will be respected by your fellow students.  If the teacher threatens to fail you for speaking up (like mine did) go higher up (principal, dean, etc) with the proof.\n\nYou're an A+ student.  Let her know it!

In my experience, it's extremely rare that a kid has all these things done to them without them doing anything to cause or perpetuate it.  So my first question would be to your daughter, "What are you doing to them?"  And if she says nothing there's a good chance -- excellent chance -- you aren't getting the whole story.  \n\nSecond, talk to the teacher.  Don't be accusatory or rude or hotheaded, just explain that you're hearing about these issues and want to share them with the teacher, find out what's going on and stop them from occurring.  When parents skip teachers and go straight to principals it does tick off the teachers.  Show the teacher some respect -- again, good chance the story you're getting at home is not really what's happening.\n\nFinally, you would talk to a principal -- but you have to work your way up to it and you have to be willing to accept that your daughter is probably not the angel she's making herself out to be.  I can't see when you would ever talk to other kids parents unless you already know them.

I am a teaching assisant and there are so many children now in the 'inclusion' zone, it is sometimes impossible to have a controlled classroon. There are ADD, Aspergers, extreme low level learners, just plain old bad behaviour alll in the mix as well as the normal good children that are just there to learn. The teachers hands are tied. They can't get rid of any of these children as the law states they have to be included. It can be hell. I feel most sorry for the good ones who are getting left behind because so much time is taken with all of these demanding children.

Many teachers say that they're just there to teach, and they are not paid enough to have to put up with abuse from students; however, many teachers are not taking time to really get to "know" their students, some teachers are not "cut out" for teaching, and many do not advance themselves to learn recent brain research to really understand why some students are the way they "really" are. Many teachers do not understand many reasons such as environmental, prenatal, brain development, etc, so they don't understand different types of students' negative behavior.  Because of not understanding these factors, many teachers see the "kids" as "bad," so the teachers become mean. And, most importantly, if there is too much class disruption because of negativism, from both teacher and student, much instructional time is lost. And that's a major reason that teachers become more annoyed or meaner! Also, many students are afraid to tell their parents about the abuse, so nothing gets done, and many bad teachers get away with "being extremely mean."  Also, some students come in with personal problems, they don't tell the teacher, and therefore, some teachers go with what they have, and you can figure out the rest for yourself. One of the best books to read about why we have such negative discipline in the schools is Jane Healey's "Endangered Minds." Also, many teachers should be required to attend conferences/workshops on "Conflict Management." There are many pros and cons about this topic, and one of the best solutions is to have the teacher, the student, and the parent/s involved in a peaceful conference to discuss negative issues and how to deal with the student. To put it bluntly, teaching in today's society, with all the factors (which we didn't have many years ago) is a tough job, but somebody has to do it. And, many of us, who are teachers, know the factors, so we stay in the teaching job because we love to teach, plus we love and understand kids. Those who can't understand this, need to get out of education and find another field to work in.

Younger children respond very well to short-term, visible goals like using sticker charts and small rewards at the end of a specific amount of time.  Depending on the kid this can be from good behavior during 1 period of class (particularly kids that are restless or have ADD, ADHD) or 1 week of periods.  Whenever you catch a student displaying good behavior in class you should acknowledge it publicly, it motivates that particular kid and it sets the right example for the rest of the class; be careful not to pick the same kid always since it can lead to labels such as "Teacher's pet, etc", I think all of our students, no matter their differences, behave good from time to time and we should try to find those instances and reward them.  Something that works really well with my students is sending notes to their houses when they have behaved in a particular good way, and I think parents also appreciate teachers that communicate with them for other than give out complaints about their kids.  I try not to criticize students' bad behavior in front of their classmates, unless it was a serious offense like hitting someone; some students like the attention and it may backfire if you criticize in front of the rest.  I ask them to leave the room with me (try to do it a little later, so you have time to think things through and don't say anything you might regret afterwards) and talk to them in private about their behavior and the consequence it will have.  This year I also had a talk with all of my students about how to solve problems among themselves and we settle on 3 rules to do so:  \n1. They should talk to the kid first and tell them that they don't like the attitude they have and to stop please doing ...whatever.\n2. If the problem continues, the student talks to whichever teacher is present in class at that moment.\n3. If the problem continues or the other teacher dismisses it they should approach the homeroom teacher (me).\nSomething very important is that you should make sure that your students understand that under no circumstances you will scold or criticize the other kid in front of them, sometimes they think that you did nothing and they tell their parents that the teacher did nothing to deal with the other student.\nHope it helps
