Usually disruptive students are thriving on the attention. Negative or positive attention, it doesn't matter. What works for me is giving plenty of praise and encouragement when the child is being good and ignore the negative. Catch the child doing good. Keep the child occupied in something constructive. If he/she is feeling active " I need a helper to dust these erasers or wipe this table off" Time outs are overused and causes more harm in little ones than any good it does. If its argumentative or social disruption, take the time ...(Answered by xmasjopresent)

Are Parachial schools better than public schools? Parachial (Catholic) schools have a reputation for being better than public schools. They teach mostly the same curricula - BUT is the main difference that they don't tolerate unruly children in the class room? Public school teachers have to put up with more disruptions, bad behavior, etc. - and this leads to ALL the students (even the good ones) getting less time learning. Is this accurate and worth paying the extra money? ... (Asked by fffrrreeeddd)

In general, yes, your statements are pretty accurate. However, in specific cases, it's not necessarily true. For example, many top-end magnet schools or specialized public schools outscore parochial schools consistently. I went to the High School for the Engineering Professions in Houston, and we consistently creamed parochial schools in many academic competitions. Jesuit schools tend to be on the top-end of parochial schools, and may be worth the money. Before choosing a parochial school, check out any magnet, special, or charter schools in your area....(Answered by ³√carthagebrujah)

What sould be done to stop bad behaviour and disruption in schools? What do you think should be done to stop disruptive and badly behaved pupils in schools in the UK? I am in secondary school, and I actually want to learn. I go to a comprehensive school and honestly, I hate my lessons, not because of the subject or the teacher, but because of the learning environment I have to work in. For example, in a lesson today, a pupil refused to work, so the teacher gave her a warning, she still didn't respond so he gave her a detention. She continued to misbehave so he sent for a lead teacher. ... (Asked by pragmaticpython)

The only solution is suspension, because it inconveniences the parents. However, the problem is that schools are reluctant to suspend because they don't want to appear in league tables which show suspensions because it makes them look bad. The other solution is to stream or set pupils so that the disruptive pupils are segregated. This causes problems from the politically corect brigade who think streaming and setting are wrong. Therefore the school is limited in how it deals with pupils from single parent families (woops,sorry I meant to say disruptive pupils) ....(Answered by ascoile)

How to deal with an adhd child in the classroom? Okay, this isn't a question, but more of an answer, but any1 with experience is highly encouraged 2 give advice. My son has adhd and it was very difficult 4 him in the classroom, as well as the teachers and other children. When he was younger, the teachers would make up special rewards 4 him. I thought this would make the other kids mad, but, because they were as aggrivated as the teacher with his disruption, they actually encouraged it. He was allowed so many times 2 speak up without raising his hand. After he ... (Asked by jennifer c)

Your son does not have "ADHD," because there is no such thing and it is a myth, like Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy. This is a term applied to normal children who can't stand to be tortured by some boring schoolmarm and especially boys who might show signs of nomal masculinity. Next, they might start forcing upon him dangerous, mind altering drugs against his will and never mind what you think, either. I submit that what they are inflicting upon your son is tantamount to child abuse, and they are using a politically correct term to make it appear ...(Answered by Marty K)

Is there disruption to the education of a class caused by bullying behaviour? ... (Asked by Delirium tremens)
View Entire Question \| Report Abuse \| Similar Questions \| See it in Y!
A.
There is no question in my mind that bullies who intimidate other students cause those students to be so fearful that they cannot keep their mind on their studies. If they are disruptive in class, of course the teacher has to take his or her time to correct the problem - time which should have been spent teaching the class. s...(Answered by Serendipity)

Why do US high school students choose to be disruptive in class? The high school students know the consequences, but yet they continue to choose the disruptive paths. Do the students still need that attention to prove their self-worth? Do the students find it more rewarding with the consequences? What gains do the students feel like they are getting by getting into trouble? Does it make the students feel better to be in trouble? Is the classroom discipline and structure so unbearable that disruption is the only way out? Are the US students too spoiled with too many choices? Should students be offered less choices? What are the ... (Asked by MathMaestro)

It's not just an American problem but also a major problem in Britain too. I think the root lies with parents, society and the kids themselves. Many parents leave the discipline and the teaching of manners of their own kids to the teachers. They coddle their kids and, if they get a bad report, always blame other people instead of reprimanding their child. Teachers can't do much because of all these human rights' laws which state that anything about a mild telling off is too harsh. Kids, in general, are lazy and don't realise that the things they learn now will ...(Answered by cosmic_quest)
