Now I felt quite frustrated because I have found it hard to educate my students although I wished my students be good guys. They are different from each other. some are naughy while some are shy and never express their ideas; others can never do what you told them and some of them are likely to be a hero in class and by doing that, he or she may feel a sense of achievement. At present, it is messy in my class and some teachers do not want to enter and even some teachers are afraid of coming into my classroom. Could you tell me how to deal with this problem? and share some tips, with many thanks.

My humble view of this phenomenon is mainly due to the selfishness of the post-nineties. The root for this could be the reason of being the only child in the family. It seems that it is common in high schools, especially in senior high schools. Many of the students do not have a goal in life and they are spoiled by their parents who offer them good mobile phones that they use it not only after class, but also in class. The use of mobile phones has a great negative impact on them that they get indulged in it...

Hey, I wonder how old your students are and from what you said above, it seems they are young, like from elementary school. I just teach adults now so be sorry for can not offer any help but I used to teach children English aging from 3 to 9 in a training school. Though feeling angry with some of them sometimes, I still felt they are very adorable

This happens in every school. Every student has their good and bad ways. SOme are great learners some are not. You just have to do the best job you can with each and every one of them. Have a great day there.

Everyone is different. Maybe the naughy guys become successful ones. Treat them as friends, they will like you. Teacher is one of the lofty vocations. You shou be proud of yourself.

Hi, although i am not a school teacher, i am a tuition teacher and i definitely do understand what you say when you find it hard to educate your students. All of us hope that the people that we teach will be good guys eventually. I think what you need is patience and try different methods to teach them. Some of them require scolding, some need understanding, while others need to learn things the hard way. i think you need to give your students more love and i believe that they will feel it. Good luck

Every individual has a unique personality as to your student also.You should not feel depressed or disappointed if you failed to achieve desired outcome as long as you know yourself that you are doing your best.Sometimes in trying to let the student understand, you have to first understand them, anger should be thrown away an utmost consideration with undying patient is needed,

I don't know what kind of students you are teaching, but I believe my students are not better than yours, I am a vocational school teacher, and my students don't need to go to college so they have no pressure on weekdays. If they sleep or play mobiles in class, they are not bad students, I mean , they are better than the students who talks loudly that you can't teach in class. But when I taught junior school students, they have to take exams so most of them are hardworking. I am kind to them and at the same time I am very strick with them. It's natural that the students are different in your class, maybe you can choose the naughty ones to help you to manage your class, and you can make them monitors in your class, if they do well, you praise them in time, and gradually they will help you manage your class well. And you can ask the whole class to make your class rules together, them ask them to follow the rules. No one is allowed to break the rules. In order to make your students listen to you, you had better treat them well, if they like you, they will listen to you.Have a nice day!

I'm not a teacher in any fashion so take this with a grain of salt. I am however good with kids and I do it by finding out about the things they like. I shock them with knowing what they know and being unpredictable in my approach. When I was a kid many, many moons ago I was super smart but a bad student. I was disruptive in every since you can imagine. I had this one teacher that forgot her name but remember everything about her. Her face, clothes and that stank perfume she wore. She had no control and I was her main problem. She would try to teach and I did my thing then she would call on me to answer a question that she thought I wouldn't answer. I did. She worked as a hypnotist on her off hours at the time I didn't know that but what I felt was her playing mind games to get the classroom back in control. I wasn't having it I studied lessons ahead just so I could break her. The her problem was she had adult solutions for instant oatmeal kids. She would say something that would get kids attention and I would blurt out something that turn things chaotic. Then she found the trick. She would stop me before, during and after class to ask me about me. I told her that I studied ahead so she had me teach the class for 3 days straight! I did so with eager the first day and she even asked a few dumb questions to make me look good. I was excited, my fellow mates were too not knowing what funny way I was going to teach. Then she cut me off. She used shock and aw on us to get us to learn, it worked. My advice is to know your kids find out what they are into and teach using what like to your advantage. Kids are instant oatmeal so do as many attention grabbing things possible. Try teaching in the hallway if it is available. Go outside and teach. Use a music video and teach around it, whatever it takes to break the cycle. But learn to teach from your kids and it should work out. Then she out of no where said "I would like you to teach again for the next few days". I think I pee peed a little on myself with excitement. Good luck!

A professor used to use this technique in my college. He used to ask questions to students who ere inattentive and if someone faiked to do so, he did not give him attendance. You may try this.
