They’re easy to spot, and every year they seem to grow in numbers. Disruptive students can interfere with learning and erode the classroom environment faster than you can say “For the hundredth time, there’s no eating in class!” They’re the students who are chronically late to class and yet always want to sit in the seat farthest from the door. They’re the students who interrupt at critical times, and question everything you say. And sometimes they’re the students who spend more time sleeping or texting than paying attention. I believe that if you provide structure and stay with it even if it means one on one talks, you can turn around students with behavior issues. You have to find what works with each student since they are all individuals, they need to be treated that way.
