I have been through the same thing with a particular student, but our relationship has improved much since then. Basically, she got an attitude with me because she wanted me to give her the answers to a worksheet instead of doing it herself. When I held my ground, she bitingly asked when the other teacher will take over. My mentor told me that when I leave, they'll be doing the same thing to her. Soooooo, just smile and brush it off! DEFINITELY don't let her see that it perturbs you..

The girl I got this idea from does two warnings and then a detention.

This isn't to say kids can't disagree or debate, but not in a way that is hurtful to anyone else. With the recent spate of student suicides, I think this is more important than ever.Suburban Sweethearthttp://www.suburbansweetheart.comnoreply@blogger.com
